Baby not interested in Breastfeeding anymore

KaranKyle08

My baby is almost a week old and since we have come home from the hospital I have been having to supplement breastfeeding with formula because he is no longer interested in the breast. Is there anything I can do to re-engage him? He is a very aggressive "sucker" and I don't think he gets enough, fast enough to make him happy. HELP ME

Most hospitals have lactation consultants that can help. I would pump after feeding just to bring your supply in even more.

Supplementing was probably a bad idea ... a bottle is easier to nurse then a breast. I would suggest a 24-hour nurse in. Just sit in bed with your baby all day & just nurse. Trust your body & him, they both know what they're doing. Good luck!
