I think DS has a weak suck or there's an issue with his attachment. He has been breastfeeding really well, but when I tried to reduce top ups he lost weight. It's really frustrating!! His latch seems to have gotten worse, it's like he's become lazy, he kind of hangs off the end a bit. I have gone back to basics trying to attach him but it doesn't always work. I know he's still getting some milk, I can see him and hear him sucking and swallowing, but he's not getting enough.. Not sure what I can do about it. I want him off this tube by his 1st birthday. I am so over expressing.. I love BF him though. It's so nice to wake up in the morning and for him to have a feed. I love the booby smilesI love that I feel like my body isn't totally useless at least I am nourishing him a bit. I just wish we could exclusively BF *sigh..
that is hard work and really frustrating. I think you are doing great getting EBM into him but I know how much it would mean for him to exclusively BF.
just hangs off the edge and drinks my let down, not much more than that.
