Getting 12 week old back to breast.

Long story short. Baby is fed expressed breast milk almost exclusively with some night/ early morning breast feeds. This is the only time she will feed from the breast. Any other time she just screams/ fusses or gets really upset. No tongue tie, has a good latch, just prefers bottles. I'd love to switch back to breastfeeding but I've tried everything and she's just not interested! I'm finding the pumping hard with 3 under 3 to deal with and on top she is a high needs baby. Any tips I'd be really grateful!

Have you seen a lactation consultant?

I found relactation worked best in the bath for the initial latches. Plus sleepy latches when bedsharing.

@Alfredo674 I saw a lactation consultant initially who helped with positioning and latch after i developed really cracked and bleeding nipples. I had an issue with supply as I had a previous breast reduction. I was put on a schedule of breastfeeding, pumping then feeding expressed breast milk. Which I think has caused this mess! Can't really afford to be seen again in all honesty. Thanks @stargirl1701 I've tried that but she absolutely hates the bath 😂

Google bait and switch breastfeeding
will baby latch initially then start fussing or is the fussing as you are trying to latch?
if the former, try breast compressions after initial let down to encourage flow

Thanks @Goingtogoinsane I'll give that a go! She latches initially but then gets frustrated and upset
