me AGAIN lol. i have been trying to get my daughter to accept my br___t. i have been using a pump and have been supplementing my lowww supply with formula so i can assure she gets enough. anyway, she screams like i am torturing her, and it's hurting my feelings a bit. she latches on, only to the nipple (PS it hurts like h__l), and makes a sour face before belting out a scream. she prefers my br___t milk over the formula when i bottle feed her, but she hates my br___ts. anyone else in my shoes? i would rather just feed her by br___t. i am getting tired of washing bottles and getting up over and over and over to make a bottle and plus i hear giving the br___t directly can increase volume of supply. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

my son does the same thing too. But what I noticed is that if I do it when he is not starving then it works better. Start giving him the b___st for snacks then slowly for meals. I know it is a pain to be washing bottles but I feel that it is faster for me to give him a bottle at night. Also my husband on his days off can feed him and I can rest. Have you seen a Lactation nurse yet? they can help you so that your daughter is latching on correctly.

i've spoken to experts at the hospital who are telling me that i shouldn't bother trying to introduce the b___st at this point. i think it can be done. when i delivered her, i was asked if i wanted to try bf, i said yes- they tried to help me for all of 20 seconds before telling me that i wont be able to bf her because her mouth was too small. yet the nipples used for the formula they pushed on us is wayyyy bigger than my nipples and she had no problem sucking on those. it really made me upset but they insisted i just stop trying. i will try your ideas. i did get her to go to the b___st when she was sleepy but boy when she woke up she was p__sed lol. she looked at me as if to say "what the hell is going on here??" it was kinda funny. will try to give her the b___st between pumpings and see.. i hope it sorts itself out soon. thanks!

Hi Anne! I've seen several of your post. All I have to say is you are very dedicated to giving your daughter the best. Don't give up. I think you both will get the hang of it. As they get a little older it does get better.

I'm in exactly your same shoes. It is so frustrating and I feel bad for him and myself. We used to get along fine b___stfeeding and bottle feeding but now its like he's too impatient to b___stfeed and I give up quickly when he screams bloody murder at me. I've tried when he's not too hungry and that didn't work either. I'm sick of washing bottles and pumping when I'm home instead of just bf and my supply is decreasing. Let me know if anyone has any other tips.
