Latch problems

HoneyBeeMel

I have been BF and supplementing with formula, from around day 2. LO had no problem in the beginning, but around 3 weeks she began having problems latching on to the bottle. The past two days she is having trouble latching on to my breast and the bottle. Her feedings are taking an hour to an hour and a half at an age when she is suppose to be a more efficient eater and "sucker" , we are struggling more. We are both getting frustrated. Any advice? TIA

My LO began having latching problems because my let down was too fast.  Try pumping about an ounce and then try latching her on.

I think this is what is starting to happen with me.  I pull the breast out and it leaks/drips all over the place and DS about chokes.  Or the milk runs out of his mouth.  Good luck to all.

If she is also having problems latching with the bottle maybe something is hurting her in her mouth - like thrush or something like that.
