LO struggling to relatch?
My baby girl is now almost 2 weeks old (already ðŸ˜).
We’re slowly getting there with latching, she’s gaining weight and filling nappies so I’m not too worried at the moment but it’s time consuming at feeds when she unlatches because she can’t seem to relatch unless I completely dry off the nipple - is this normal?
Then sometimes even if it is dry it’s like she can’t quite get it back and shakes her head side to side. I generally swap positions at this point before she gets too restless. I haven’t breastfed publicly yet but because we have to change soo much it really makes me anxious to as I’d want to cover up so for now I’m expressing after feeds and she will take a bottle if we’re out and about. At first I felt a bit guilty introducing a bottle so early but because her latch when we first feed is great I don’t ‘think’ she seems confused.
