Some great advice already, hun. Go with it, and my suggestion is practice, practice, practice! Emily would do the same thing as a baby, 'refusing' the boob, and I just gave up and bottle-fed her - Hayley was a little champ when it came to the boob but there were some tricky days when I'd have to stick to my guns and refuse her bottles in order to make her realise the boob was where it was at You're doing fantastically, it's so awesome that you have so much milk already (woohoo!!), Isla just needs a little help working out how to get it from you. Babies can be 'lazy' at times and go with what works for them as far as putting in as little effort as possible, especially when they're sleepy or hungry - she may be finding cup-feeding 'easier' for her as she doesn't have to try, kwim? Helle's 'teasing' tip was one that worked for me and Hayley, the biggest thing I found was just CONSTANT boob - keep it out, keep it there in front of her and keep trying. She will kick up a fuss for a while, but will soon learn that suckling at your breast is the way to get fed, itms. Good luck hun, keep up the great work! Congrats again
