Feel like giving up

[Kate1985]

As the title says I really feel like I can't o on with this breastfeeding anymore. I was so excited about Harry having tt cut today as I'm sick to death of expressing. He had a few ok feeds with nipple shields but has screamed and been so upset tonight be ause he's hungry. I can't get him to latch properly. I've had to give in and give him a bottle of expressed milk as he was crying, I was crying and I just feel like crap! Why won't it work for us

If he only had it cut today you may have to give him a little time?
I'm no TT expert but baby needs to adjust and learn as much as you do hun.
If you can, I'd maybe express a bit tonight and try again when he's not as upset??
I had one night, when lo was about 3 weeks old and he just wouldn't latch, no idea why, we'd been feeding well until then. We both got really stressed (no good for milk flow!) so I expressed a little to calm him, we both relaxed and tried again.
Hope you're both ok xx

As Cosmic said hun it will take a bit more time. It is probably a lot to do with association, I would go back to basics and try some skin to skin xx
