The BFing cousellor showed me how to yesterday, she latched for her, just that once, did a few tiny sucks and fell asleep.
I just cant get her on, its not the technique I don't think, Im doing what she told me, its just poor DD hasn't a bloody clue whats going on, she wants a bottle and Im trying to stick this big, alien boob in her gob.
Its my fault for not doing it from the start, poor thing.
Im getting quite frustrated because Im gettin a drop of milk at the beginning of pumping but not much after, im taking my boob out of the pump when that happens and putting it on DDs lips to get the taste.
But she just moves her head from side to side and doesn't grip, then she cries, it esculates and i end up giving her a bottle cause shes hungry, with tears in my eyes.
I am SO determined to try this,
I am not giving up.
I still don't know how to getn her to latch.
ive even been driiping formula onto my boob so it runs off my nipple so she thinks milk is coming from there.
