Thanks to everyone / I guess i was wrong
That responded to the post that i had about breastfeeding.
Were i was going to quick etc.
Well yesterday i took her to the laction app.
SHe was telling me her suck didn't chance and she weighed her and she is 8 poounds 2 ounces. But she is like lets see her at the breast.
So we got her one and she nursed for about 30 mins.
She she weighs her to see if she got any she got two ounces of breastmilk.
So she tells me try her 3 times a day to see if she nurses. i got all excited.
So i come home and at her next feeding she latched on again i was so excited but didn't want to get my hopes up.
So again today i did the say and she lacted on 4 times today so i'm so happy that she is doing good.
I show her the breast she opens wide and sucks i'm so happy.
I'm so glad that i didn't give up.
But i'm praying that she keeps up with it.
So proud of myself.
Update:
Today she wants nothing to do with it i guess i jinx myself. Oh it makes me so mad i'm in tears here. WHy is this not working out for me.

Re: Thanks to everyone / I guess i was wrong
Dont give up...my DD was an expert latcher from day one but I remember at some stage she decided not to eat and I was so worried but I persevered....and she went back to eating normally.
If you can dont give up and she will eat when she is ready.

Re: Thanks to everyone / I guess i was wrong
My mother chose to exclusively breastfeed us when we were born. I was a natural and loved it. My sister was not so fond of it. She was a little lazy and it was too much work for her. My mom got upset, but eventually realized a happy baby was more important.
I refused to BF DD when she was born for a long list of my own reasons. She was quite healthy as an infant (her first cold was at 2.5 years) and full of life. When DS was born last week, they told me in the hospital that he would not be able to breastfeed due to how his tongue formed (he's "tongue tied") to the bottom of his mouth. They were actually happy I was bottle feeding only.
I am only telling you this because it's important to know that some babies simply can't or don't like to breastfeed so much. I made a choice that was right for me and turned out to be better for my children as well. Just try to do what's in her best interests in the end and what ever you do, do not feel guilty!

No jinxing yourself here! A minor setback. Get her right back on the horse (or boob, for that matter).
It took me some time before I got it down. Hang in there!

It'll be OK. A lot of people experience problems early on. The good news is that the vast majority of babies can breastfeed, even if they have problems early on. Keep in touch with your Lactation Consultant, contact La Leche League, post here for support. You'll be fine.

Re: Thanks to everyone / I guess i was wrong
I had some days when DD wasn't interested in BF and others when she was nursing as if I'd starved her. Babies just have days like that. Hang in there
