Help with latch
I left a message for an LC but in the meantime I'm looking for advice.....
DD is 10 days old and immediately did well with latching and nursing. Every once in awhile shed have trouble and just bob her head around without actually latching onto the breast. But that was infrequent and I could usually get her to latch by takibg a break to change her diaper or trying a different position etc.
But recently the open mouthed head bobbing has taken over and it seems impossible to get her to latch and nurse properly. I tried for over 2 hours last night and I finally broke down and face her a bottle of formula because I couldn't take the madness any longer. It took me over 2 hours to feed her enough this am that she was comfortable to go to sleep. I can't even figure out when she should be eating next because each feeding takes so long it runs into the next one! HELP!
