Hi,
My lo is not at all willing to bf during the day. It's a struggle with her screaming, arching away from me. It's soooo distressing. At night time she feeds no problem. I've tried everything during day, skin to skin, nipple shields, hot flannels, relaxing music etc. Sometimes I can coax her into it and we have a couple of day feelings, other times there's nothing I can do. She's been on bottle since week 2 and only just decide she can latch on.
Rather than try fighting every feed, I think it's best to wind down feedings during the day and only give at night, when she wants it. I've thought long and hard and she can bf but she's only willing to do it when she's tricked or drowsy. I think she's too used to instant feed from bottle and won't work from me. Add on the fact she's teething and desperate to get moving I think it's best to wind down during day.
How do I do this? There is no feeding schedule or pattern at all. Every day is totally different. I don't like the idea of just stopping, I want to do it as naturally as possible, winding down very slowly, to mimic what would normally happen.
