Breastfeeding

Correcting latch?

I've been alternating between nursing and bottlefeeding breastmilk to my twins. DS is a great nurser but DD is killin' my nips! She is so agressive! How do I get her to not bite on my nipples so much? 

Re: Correcting latch?

  • Hmmm, my ds only does that when he's not really hungry when I am putting to breast. Is it possible that maybe she doesn't need as frequent feedings as DS? or does she do it at every single feeding? Try spacing out her feedings a bit more and see if it continues. You can also try a nipple shield. It might help with how you feel but is a pain to have to have with you when you're nursing her. Also you can try limiting her bottles for a few days and see if that helps with her latch and then incorporate the bottle again.
