So the baby has a lip & tongue tie so last night i supplemented with formula and only had him latch a few times throughout the night, now this morning when i pumped barely any colostrum came out 😭😭😩😩 i hope my milk still comes in! I plan to have him latch every time before he eats from now on last night i was just sooo tired.

Alresdy did while i was there . His jaw is back further and he has an under bite i have to open his mouth wider when he latched
I’d suggest continuing to latch him and drop the formula. He doesn’t need much in the first few days of life and constant nursing is what signals your milk to come in. By giving him formula you’re sabotaging your efforts. Open his mouth for him and get him to stay on as long as possible. You can get the ties corrected around 2 weeks old I think. I did it with my son at 3 weeks. With my daughter she was 2 months because I didn’t know she had it. No one checks at the hospital. You’ll have to see a pediatric dentist.
@walkmavs_mom, that’s a great weight for 2 days old! My daughter was down to 7lbs when we left the hospital. It’s normal for babies to lose weight and there’s no need to give formula. He will get his weight up when your milk comes in.
@2sweetie, well he screams and cries all night because he’s hungry and can’t latch a ll the way to get my colostrum out so I’m doing what i have to do to keep him content
@walkmavs_mom, oh wow I’m sorry! I hope it gets better
You are doing great. My oldest had both lip and tongue tie. Once you both figure out the latch it does get better
My younger one had both! It’s a struggle for real 😩 Just keep trying to get him to latch. It takes 3-5 days for colostrum to change into milk, your body is doing what it’s supposed to right now. Baby’s tummy is so small right now and colostrum is high density in calories. Every 2 hours keep bringing him to breast, even if he gets just a little out.
Are you able to get the ties release in the hospital or do you have to go elsewhere for that? We didn’t know my guy had them until he was a month old and didn’t get them released closer to 10 weeks. I wish I’d know about them from the start, feeding him was such a challenge!
I’m calling the dentist that i went too for my second son because he had a lip & tongue tie as well to get it done
Does his latch seem alright with the tongue and lip tie?
I have to open his mouth wider because he’s not latching correctly as my second child didn’t.. i just exclusively pumped with him for 2 weeks until i got his lip & tongue tie fixed but i still want to get this one to latch
@walkmavs_mom, I would just keep trying to latch him as much as you can and hopefully that will help your milk come in, I know in the hospital when my daughter wasn’t latching right they told me to pump every 3 hours to help my milk come in.
@michellemybell09, yeah that’s what i did with my second hut last night i didn’t
Your doing fine babe ! Take care of you too ! Have him latch as much as you can !
Почему дни рождения так тяжелы?
My baby is 2 today!! I literally cried myself to sleep last night snuggling with him. (yeah, I let him sleep in my bed last night bc I he wanted to & I wanted him to) lol
Why are birthdays so hard for meeee?! 😭😭😭
Did any moms breastfeed if so how long?I was only able to breastfeed my son for a week or two weeks I had a hard time getting him to latch and I would bleed when he wasnt latched right and they would hurt so bad and leak so much ....any suggestions or tips?🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I got the balloon inserted at 6:45pm and it's now 2:40am. I slept for a few hours but am now just laying here awake. I was bummed because the last time I was in labor and had the balloon, I was in so much pain with the contractions, I was up all night.
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I had to share this picture of Raptor! He is still doing amazing! He has lost a little bit of weight but that's expected! Yesterday was our second time trying to breast feed and he latched and sucked!!! It was so amazing and I am so proud of him!
Can you meet with the lactation consultant? My son had a tie and she was able to show me how to help him get a deeper latch.
