have you tried a nipple shield? it may help to transition him off the bottle to the breast full-time... once he's off the bottle you can then "wean him" off the shield.

@xpoeticxtragedyx We had one at the hospital and misplaced it, I looked at Wal-mart for one they didn't have it, I will look again because i really want it now that my milk is fully in. because I know it will make a big difference.

@bleepbleepblah The first couple of weeks were extremely difficult. Latching was tough because my breasts were very engorged, and the feedings were painful. I had to pump a little bit before feedings to make my breasts softer to facilitate a better latch. But, my daughter got much better at it every day, and soon we were having no problems at all. Yes, breastfeeding can be difficult but don't give up! It's an amazing experience and the benefits to both mom and baby are worth it.

The reason he prefers the bottle is because the flow of milk is much faster than the breast. I would stop offering him the bottle. He will need to get used to the breast, but after a few days, he will figure out what he's doing. Remember, he needs to learn how to breastfeed. It takes practice for both of you! Talk to a lactation consultant. These women are amazing and can make a huge difference in your experience. I breastfed my daughter for 13 months..no bottle until she was 10 months.

I suggust getting in touch with a good lacation consultant! they will help you in like 20 min. Nipple shields can prevent infants from learning how to latch on right. using bottles isn't going to help you try finger feeding him or tube feeding while he is latched on your breast. I really think a lactation consultant will help you and fix the problems your having :-) Also there is a great latch video here on youtube :-)

Its great that you are breastfeeding. I knwo how hard it is! My son is just on 5mo, and as the months go by breastfeeding does get easier and easier. So fingers crossed it gets easier for you! I found spending time with my son skin to skin made him really want to breastfeed more as he could see/smell the milk/boobs. He is such a cutie!!
