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..

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
