Dear mummies, I am having difficulty latching my baby on. I suspect that its due to incorrect latching.
I gave birth at TMC in late July 09. The nurses are v busy and have no time to ensure that I latched my baby correctly. I went back to TMC to get help after I was discharged. They told me to get a breastfeeding support pillow and nipple shield and kept asking me to look at illustration on hw I should latch my baby. In the end, the lactation consultant got pek chek on how come I still cldnt latch baby on. I was frustrated as well.
Following that, I have not gone back for help. I have been pumping exclusively for my baby. However, I really do want to have that bonding session with my baby. I am v envious of mummies who are able to latch their babies successfully.
Could someone give me an advice or recommend me a patient lactation consultant who wont give up on me? My bb is 2 months old. I hope its not too late...
