breastfeed

My NB baby has difficulty latching and seems disinterested. The only way i feed him is by inserting my finger and a syringe tgt into his mouth. This is the only way he wants to be fed. Is there any other way to help him wana latch..

Hey dear, please do not panic, I m sharing some of the helpfull articles with you on breastfeeding positions. please try them. https://sg.theasianparent.com/back-to-the-basics-of-breastfeeding https://sg.theasianparent.com/how-to-breastfeed-your-baby-learn-the-proper-technique-of-nursing

I found having some skin to skin n cuddling time before feeding helped baby to latch better. Night time when baby is drowsy, he/ she latches better too. It gets better with more tries. Hang in there!

also if you not able to latch, do not worry, you can consult a lactation consultant also.

You may need to seek advice from a lactation consultation. He may have a tongue tie

try laid back position n let him “find” your breast
