Trouble with Latch, HELP!

Allyse • XO Allyse

Ladies, I feel like I'm about to cry/pull my hair out/lose my mind.

My LO is 12 days old and I was told to supplement after breastfeeding. Well I just tried to BF my LO and I spent 30 minutes just trying to get him to latch. He won't latch right and if he does, its shallow and he barely sucks so he quits and gets frustrated. After 30 minutes of trying to latch I have lost all patience. I don't want to give him a bottle because I still want to BF and I feel like this is causing his inability to latch(the bottle feeding). I use tommee tippee bottles.

Can you please send suggestions on ways to get him to latch?
