I can only get baby to latch on one breast, my other one is too firm so she cant get a good latch. We are bottle and breast feeding. I dont have a pump currently. What can I do? I dont want to become overly engorged in one breast but I cant get a pump until Monday.

Hand express. Maybe if get the first let down out she could latch a little better.

Get a haakaa and put it on the breast the baby won’t latch on while you feed off the other.

Hand express. I had the same problem with my son, he would only nurse off one side cause the other side was so full he couldn’t latch so I hand expressed into a spoon and still gave it to him and then he was able to latch and my mom helped me make sure I was alternating breasts each feeding so that it wouldn’t happen again

Hand Express to soften the nipple before latching. If you want you can let down into a rag before latching baby. Don’t worry this stage is temporary. I’d suggest that you stop bottle feeding and let your baby regulate your supply.
