Feeling a little discouraged tonight, Bryson is 3 days old now and I’m trying my hardest to bf but he will not latch, he saw his dr today and no tongue tie or lip tie etc, I saw a lactation specialist and even she had issues helping me get him on, so I am pumping as much as possible and trying to feed in between but have to supplement formula in between when I can’t get him on breast or pump enough since we just got home and I can use my pump now. I just feel like a failure. My boobs hurt SO bad and pumping isn’t seeming to relieve much pressure. I know either way as long as he’s fed that’s what matters but I just feel defeated by it already and makes me feel like I’m failing him. Just needed to rant a minute 😩 other than that he’s perfect and such a content baby. I love him SO much!!
The beginning is the hardest!!!! Have you tried a nip shield? It maybe to get him to latch then once he’s bigger you can wean him off.
Try nipple shields they helped me don’t get discouraged just keep trying your hardest ❤️
Just keep working at it! My milk didn’t come in till late day 4. I went back to the lactation consultant more than once! 💙
It’s ok momma . Just make sure he eats even if you have to give formula.
