He doesn’t want the breast

Alice

It’s been a day and I noticed my son doesn’t want to eat from my breasts. He starts and then stops after 3-6 mins and cries. This isn’t good for my supply and I therefore have to pump (when I’m at home and not out with him).

We give him a couple bottles a day with breast milk or formula and I’m scared he will get used to the easy feeding of the bottle and not take my breast anymore.

My aim is to get off the pump… what should I do?

Thanks in advance

Alice
