Failed at latching

Marissa • Fri, Aug 09 • First Time Mama Calgary Raymond • August 4th, 2019 ♡

My LO is 5 days old and my plan was to always exclusively breastfeed. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to latch successfully and I’ve resorted to pumping exclusively.

I feel like a failure. Any mamas have any good tips on how to get baby to latch after becoming accustomed to the bottle nipple?

**** EDIT ****

Thank you everyone for being so encouraging!!! I appreciate your kindness and positivity so much!! All of your success stories give me so much hope 🙏🏼
