Hey girls I need help..
my baby is 2 weeks and 5 days old, he has been bottle fed since birth, but I would really like to try and breast feed, is this okay to do? Any tips on how? Many thanks!❤️
Has your milk dried up? You can relactate if might just take a bit of time. Lots of skin to skin with baby, offer the breast as much as possible. Baby’s saliva will encourage milk production so even if you aren’t producing at the moment it will signal to your body that it needs to start. If you have a pump, look up power pumping. Drink lots of water and eat as well as you can. It’s definitely possible.
@ellie.case1234, that’s good! It should be much easier to do then. Get the baby on the boob as much as you can. Look up latches on you tube to find one you’re comfortable with an just go for it. Young breastfed babies feed a lot so you might feel like little one is constantly eating but this will help establish your supply. I’d offer boob first then top up with the bottle until you’re sure your supply is fully back.
