Too late to correct a bad latch?
When is it too late to correct a bad latch? My 4 mo old dd doesn't
nurse like she means it. She's a snacker and she's not interested in nursing at all. She think it's playing and she looks at me and smiles. Someone on this group suggested I call IBCLC to see if they can help. I was wondering if it's already too late and she's established "I don't like this way of eating" mode. Thanks. |

Too late to correct a bad latch?
Sounds to me as thought she is a gourmet feeder (that is what they called my
DD), she also takes forever to eat, and she never seems in a rush. She takes her time....sip, sip, look around etc... Now that she is almost a year, the feeding times have gotten much shorter, but we often have to be somewhere quiet to nurse. NIP is too difficult for me know because she is so nosey, and everything distracts her. I often have to take her to the car, or someplace else with little to no noise. I don't think there is much you can do, that is just her personality. Michelle P "ted" wrote in message om... When is it too late to correct a bad latch?

As in: bottle nipple preference? I seem to remember you give her lots of bottles, and she only nurses during the night. Could be she wants the easier bottle, so rejects your breast....when she has the energy to. At night, it's easier for her to give up the protesting and just nurse. If this sounds like it could be what's happening, someone here or an IBCLC could definitely help you out with a plan to get her fully back on the breast. Good luck, -Patty, mom to Corinne [Mar-98] and Nathan [May-00] and stepmom to Victoria [Apr-90] |
