Need Breastfeeding help

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
The breast center is closed and we just brought our LO home today. She started cluster feeding at the hospital last night. The last time she latched and had a decent feed was this morning. She is showing signs of being hungry but refuses to latch on anymore. I tried to pump to keep my supply and there is basically no colustrum left in my breasts. Should I keep trying to pump and just hold out for my milk to come in?????

    Thanks so much! It was so crazy that she latched fine at the hospital and now she just screams while the nipple is just laying in her mouth.

    Hang in there mama! +1 to not pumping this early, doing skin to skin and holding your breast with your hand either in the shape of a U or a C. Try pointing your nipple to her nose, which should make her open her mouth nice and wide, which is key for a good latch. Good luck!!
