Breastfeeding

Latching or Sucking?

Oh it's me again - another issue, another day!  

I have been BF using a shield then giving LO a bottle with BM afterwards.  She gobbles down the bottle, no matter how long she seems to spend on the breast. Sometimes she'll stay on 20-30 minutes, other times barely 10, so I know she's still learning.  This morning I felt like she had a good latch and seemed to suck more and stayed on for awhile...then about 15 min after she was done, she was starving and sucked down 70 cc from the bottle.  I don't think she's getting very much BM from me AT ALL and I'm not sure why - I don't know if it's the latch or her suck, but somehow she's not doing enough to express milk. 

Any tips?
