Just stop ?

Question

I noticed my boobs were hard, so I tried to put my baby on my boob but he wouldn’t take it. I tried for 30-40 minutes. He’d suck twice then make a face & stop lol. So I gave him a bottle because he started getting mad. 
I then gave my pump a shot, that didn’t end good either my nipple started bleeding & I noticed a white bubble thing on my nipple it scared me so I stopped lol. Now I’m worried about getting mastitis 😩 What do I do? I don’t plan on continuing with breast feeding, my baby prefers the bottle now 🤦🏼‍♀️ (I tried breast feeding for 2 days) stopped 1 day then tried again today.

Answer

If I’m reading this correctly, your baby is 3-4 days old? To establish breastfeeding, you pretty much feed around the clock to establish your supple. Some nipple cracking can happen when baby doesn’t have a good latch. Speak with a lactation consultant ASAP. If you want to breastfeed, you need to establish it now and try to cut out the bottles. 
If you want to stop that’s fine too though, I’m not trying to push breastfeeding, just know you can do it if you want to

Answer

It takes longer than 2 days for successfully nursing and for baby to get the hang of it. Milk supply takes average 3-5days to come in. 
It may be a milk bleb for what you are referring to as the white spot. If you would like to try it, work with an IBCLC to get things figured out.

Answer

If you don’t want to pump then try hand expressing. This first couple of weeks are brutal but it gets better!!

Answer

Also if your boobs are really hard you might need to relieve some pressure so your babe can get a better latch (this happened to me a lot as I had a ton of milk) If it’s too hard babe might be struggling to latch correctly and get milk therefore the frustration. Your both learning - breastfeeding isnt as easy as they make it seem for everyone I highly recommend getting a lactation consultant out. They are a dream and so helpful! Sending you love and congratulations on babe
