Question about bottle feeding?

Question

I have tried to pump a little bit to start having a supply when I have to go back to work and so I can have a break. We gave baby a bottle 2x in one day before she was 2 weeks so I could get out of the house for maybe 30 min and since then I seem to have issues with breastfeeding. She will not latch properly all the time and gets impatient after the first let down and starts pulling off or bitting the nipple (nipples are always sore and pinched). Anyone have the same problem? Any advice? And when did you start using a bottle? 
LO is exclusively breastfed and currently 2 weeks and 2 days.

Answer

Try tommy tippee or avent. Wide nipples help prevent nipple confusion

Answer

I started usjng the bottle at 2days old and now we're working on just nursing. She had a problem latching on and the LC told me its bc shes looking for the nipple to feel like a pacifier. She told me when I have my breast squeezed like in the sandwich and she starts fussing and crying to basically squeeze it up & down fast to remind her that she still has something in her mouth. She was fighting it off and on at first and now she's not as bad.

Answer

It's likely because the bottle is easier for her. She gets it quicker without working as hard for it. What kind of bottle/nipple did you use!

Answer

How fast is your first let-down? I'm having issues with my LO because I have a fast let-down so he starts squirming and pulling at my nipple and sometimes coughs and then unlatches and starts crying. This just started to become an issue this last week (he's 22 days old now). I'm trying different positions to help him cope better until he's big enough to handle it better. I've found that making sure his stomach is lower than his head and having him lay over me helps (so gravity is working against the let-down.)
