My question is does it always improve with perseverance?
I feel like we are just doing the same thing over and over again despite LOTS of support from professionals and experienced friends we just don't seem to be able to crack it.
I have had various issues which has resulted in my baby also having expressed milk from bottle for last week and half. I have tried nipple shields but he just sucks them in rather than latches.Become reliant on bottles at night when I just cant face the pain! This is probably part of the problem I know but it's a cycle I can't break.
What do I do? I cannot see what I'm doing differently to advice / youtube videos / leaflets etc and suspect we are just repeatedly doing the same thing wrong. Its getting me down as feeding is not pleasant and he gets very upset as I'm repeatedly taking him off and trying yo get him to re-latch (never with any success.) Have tried various positions but only bearable with cross cradle.Help!
People keep saying it improves but does it really for everybody?
