 Re: Trouble with breastfeeding.... | |
it is possible that your let down is scaring him. Can you feel it? I know I had a strong let down and sometimes made my dd jump off in shock tehn I would awuirt her in the face. lol
Another thing is he may have nipple confusion. It is strongly reccomded that you do not offer a bottle until at least 3 months of age. I would step away from teh bottle for at least a few weeks until you reestablish the nursing. Then if you still feel you need to pump and feed, then try at that point.
If you are home and are worried about not being able to nurse while on the phone or computer of whatever, it does get soooo easy at about 3-4 months old and you will not even have to worry about that. If you need hands free nursing try a baby wrap or sling. Then baby can nurse while you do what you need to do!!!
Good luck and if you have any questions please ask and congrats on a baby boy and for nursing him! |
