Needing help, not wanting to latch and feed

twhite080908 · November 2015

My LO was very jaundice and we had to supplement in order to make sure that he was getting enough to help the jaundice go away. We would nursing then bottle feed supplement formula per doc instructions. Now everything is better but he doesn't want to latch and feed but will take my milk from the bottle. I know that he is at least getting my milk but ultimately I want to breastfeed. Any suggestions or anyone else go through the same thing? What did you do? TIA!

Try to slowly transition little one to a slow flow nipple, I'm not an expert and I'm a FTM so I also might not be correct but that's what I would try.

See my response here regarding paced bottle feeding: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12643038/re-intro-and-fussy-nurser#latest I would also take a weekend and do nothing but the breast. Lay in bed, do skin to skin and let LO latch as he wants.
