Hi all, I'm new here.
My LO was born at 36 weeks. I was exc. bf for 6 weeks until found out he wasn't putting on weight. He didn't latch on properly and was constantly crying :-(. He was hungry.
I started mixing pumped bm and formula and he has put on weight. He is now 11 weeks. Feeds are difficult as we gets a lot of wind and its v hard to burp him so cries a lot during and after feeds until he burps. HV suggested silent reflux but I'm unsure, I have a feeling it's just gas as he doesn't mind laying on his back and sleeps for 5 hours through the night.
I'd really love to bf again and I offer him my breast twice a day. He is not draining them completely but I do think the latch has improved. The bf support lady hadn't helped much. I really don't want to give up :-(. Any tips, please! I really appreciate it! I've attached I pic of his latch.
