Baby only 4days feeling like breastfeeding will end soon
My baby is only 4 days old and i feel like my breast feeding journey will come to an end early..
The first day my son latched on right away and did very good. Second day His bilirubin levels were off so they had in a bili blanket which he became frustrated so they gave him a Binky to console him. I was still doing good breastfeeding they had me start pumping to try to get my mature milk in faster. They also supplemented him a little formula after each feeding.
3rd day my milk came in when I was pumping so I gave him that in a bottle and breastfeed all day in the hospital even though I kept having trouble with him latching. By the time we were discharged that evening my breast were engorrged and he would not latch for more than two sucks. He’s very frustrated when he’s on the boob and fights, pushing away etc.
I tried to release in the shower and then try again no luck! I had to pump and give him bottles
4th/today he will not latch at all! I’ve had to give him bottles and pump all morning! His latch is all messed up now and he gets so frustrated on the boob idk what to do! Any advice how I can train him to latch again I don’t wanna lose my supply already ?
New positions I can try to keep him in place: We were doing great with foootball and cross cradle now he hates both and just fights and pushes away from the boob.
