It took us 8 weeks to go from bottle back to breast - my girl suffered nipple confusion...bottle teat, nipple...poorest fella! But we did manage (I even had to feed formula for a while and hated it) and so will you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-35160910592317833932008-08-15T01:27:00.000+02:002008-08-15T01:27:00.000+02:00Thank goodness for the LC!

I ended up just pumping and giving it to her in a bottle, it was so much less stressful and I think as long as mom and baby are happy, nothing else matters. Good luck with continuing to breastfeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-16914533084298032882008-08-14T09:54:00.000+02:002008-08-14T09:54:00.000+02:00I am so glad that the LC was able to help you.

It tells us how babies reflexes that they are born with help them to latch them selves and us as adults don't always follow this, there is even a step by step on how to do it. <BR/>Good Luck, I am sure it will get easier soon. You are doing such a great job already!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652113802137868824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-29282745194398054532008-08-14T09:27:00.000+02:002008-08-14T09:27:00.000+02:00Hi!

I didn't have latch problems but she told me to feed 10min on one side, 10 on the other and I did for a couple of days. Una did not appreciate it (I will not go into details of how we knew this :)) and when we switched to one feed one breast (like we were thought at the childbirth class) she was way happier. <BR/>I hope Sadie latches on properly soon, pumping is not fun! And when she does it will be great! Hang in there!Jelena and Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990777999281634727noreply@blogger.com
