That breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone.
I have always thought that I would be one of those mum's that breastfeeds for the first 12 months or so of my babies life, but after express feeding Tayah for the last 4 weeks and still having her reject my breast now, I realise that this is prob not going to be an option for us.
Reasons being that she has a tongue tie and struggles to attach and pull the nipple into her mouth. Also because she was jaundiced in hosp and only allowed off the light bed long enough to give her a quick attempt at the breast before been givin expressed breast milk in a bottle, which she has now gotten use to.
Looking back now I wish I had of insisted that she be allowed a longer attempt at the breast before being given the bottle.
