I know it sounds ridiculous (and might not be doable for you both) but you lie baby on back on floor (or bed I guess) and lean over the top... Hard to explain. It worked for me once when DS was refusing to feed - he thought it was hilarious.

My DD was very simlar, shocking attachment, no idea and too interested in everything else! You could try attaching her normally then firmly holding her while you get on all fours with loads of pillows for support. The gravity is meant to help release the blockages. Its very painful but i always had a hot shower and massaged like hell, hurt but dispersed blockages well. Be careful though as I have heard you can cause damage? :hug: hang in there, it does get easier.:
Sounds very awkward but maybe it will work? How are you doing now mumof2boys? I hope it shifts soon.
Finally good news after trying to massage in the shower, having dd feed off it, and then attach myself to the pump I had resigned myself to the fact it wasn't moving so I took a couple of panadol and went to bed hoping I didn't wake up in the morning with mastitis. Anyway dd just woke up for a pre midnight snack (which she never does) and this time she managed it because it's all gone. She must have known my booby needed her lol.

You're awesome Mel :D
3 months Congrats!!!! Awesome achievement!
mumof2 - Thats good news!
Well done Mel for 3 months of feeding :)
Girls how many feeds should an almost 6 month old be having? I have noticed that over the past 3 days we have dropped to 6 and if we are lucky 7 feeds within a 24 hour period. She is also have morning and night solids. Is this enough feeds to keep my supply up at a decent level? I have also stopped taking motilium to see how I go.
Congrats Mel!
If that's what she wants Is, and all looks fine with her, then that's probably fine! Watch the wet nappies
just want to winge
it's too cold, and i am sick of getting my boobs out. it doesn't help that there is not much in them so bub is getting frustrated and comes off a trillion times. there is not enough to be able to feed her to sleep. so now i have no tricks to get her to sleep. i don't know what to do when she is banging trying to get in when i know they are empty and she is not interested in drinking cows milk the last few days (she was taking it for a week or so).
i always loved feeding but its just bloody hard at the moment and not working and not much i'm doing is helping.
ugh, ok i think i am good now. cheers
I bet you're exhausted HotI, I know I was. Much harder being pregnant when you've got an older child as well. I hope you can both figure something out sleep-wise. :hug:
HotI have you tried her on oat milk?? DD2 turned her nose up to cows milk until after she weaned a few months ago
Thanks MadB and Olive. i bought some oat milk today and will give that a try later.
DS has never drunk any other kind of milk
