I am not sure anyone can give me any other tips or advise that i have not already been trying but worth a shot.

Tyron was born via c/s two weeks ago on the 14th october.
Initially in the first 24-36hrs he was very mucosy so when he wasn't latching on it was thought maybe that was why.
Each and every feed i struggled to feed him, he basically would push away from me and when i did get him latched on he would not even attempt to suck but rather just cry and get himself very worked up. It would get to the stage you have to pull him of and just try and settle him down.

So from the Sunday i had him till the following Sat i left we tried a number of things.

firstly was expressing a lot to try and help aid my milk to come in. Lac consultants thought once it came in it might be better.
Did not help, i did have and still have an abundance of supply but that makes no difference.

we tried keeping im wrapped as his hands constantly get in the way and then tries to push off my breast with them

we tried feeding him before he was fully awake and starving

we tried him on sucking your finger a dummy a bottle and he seemed to suck all of them fine but not my breast.

My nipples are flat but after a few sucks they come out quiet nicely, tried the nipple sheilds for better attachement, and tried a few expressions first to get them out and the let down before attaching. not interested

we tried using a side line tube and feeding that through his mouth while on my breast and he will suck my breast whilst the milk comes through the tube, then as soon as the supply stops he stops sucking. so know he can suck on my breast but just doesnt unless the liquid gold is gulping down his throat with ease!

I didnt want to leave hospital without having it sorted because i have a 18month old at home that also needs attention. But in the end i had to leave hospital with no improvement.

Since being home i have contionued to try to feed Tyron. but i have to admit my patience is starting to wear thin after going over the same routine each and every feed for the last 16days. Sometimes its impossible to have the right environment when my older son is up and about etc. Im not at the "cant be bothered" stage during the evening i dont want to fight him so will just bottle feed him the EBM then express after it.

I am going back to the hossy on wed as they ordered this side line thing in for me that i can put around my neck with EBM and try getting him sucking my breast again, but thats not a long term solution either.

I have hired a pump for 5 weeks so continue to express after each feed. I have so much milk i am producing double sometimes even more then what he needs and so far i prob have a full 2 weeks worth of supply filling my freezer!

I had lots of difficulties with my first son as he was born at 33wks, i honestly thought i wouldnt have as much difficulties this time around as he was born at 38weeks. My first son never refused me like this though he just needed to learn how to suck etc.

At the end of my hosp stay the lac ladies honestly said we dont know what more to do, he just blatently refuses me. they said they had exhausted all ideas.
Ive been told i attach him really well so thats not it
i had him checked for tounge tie, they rekon not, taking him to the paed on Thurs to check again but i dont think he has it. in a way i wish he did because id know what the prob was and that it could be fixed.

I have spoken to a couple of ABA girls, without physically seeing them they couldnt come up with much more then what i have been trying.
some suggestions were to only cup feed to stop nipple confusion. If he was my only child i'd say yep ok but again with another child at home it is a lot more difficult.
Lots of cuddles and kangaroo care, prob could be doing more then what i have but been trying when i can.

So after all that i think i wrote down everything that i've been trying, i really really dont want to give up but i cannot physically keep going on this way, my husband returns to work next week so even expressing will start to get harder as it eats into time.
i was very upset in hosptial because i never thought after bf my first for 9months that i would have these difficulties i seriously think this boy is just lazy and does not want to work what so ever for his milk.

Ive actually video taped him already explaining that he doesnt like boobs! because i am sure he will never beleive me on his 21st!
