Wow! You had a lot of challenges from the beginning. It is normal for your milk to come in (whether you've had a vaginal or c-section) 3-7 days after delivery. In the meantime your baby gets colostrum and sucking at the breast signals your body to make milk. It sounds like the supplementation actually caused nipple confusion and hence your baby had trouble latching on until one day it 'clicked'. Way to go for sticking with it!!!! Hopefully next time, you will have better support and information!
Hi! is it possible to just pump and not latch the baby on at all or at least once a night and not dry up? thanks!
