[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shortage is a real problem so I’m sorry you are experiencing it. How old is your baby? Have you met with a lactation consultant (or two!) - they can be really helpful but sometimes it takes a few appointments to find the right match. And have you considered pumping (even exclusively)? [/quote] OP here. He just turned 9 week old yesterday. We have been to many lactation visits. He is fine with breastfeeding but he takes a long to eat and is very impatient at the breast because he doesn’t like to work hard for the milk. This causes him to become mad and breastfeeding because this 30-45 minute ordeal of him eating and crying. I do pump two times a day right now and we feed him two bottles ( 1 formula, 1 breastmilk) and he loves the bottle. We do have a slow flow nipple but he never cries and he is done with 4oz in 10-15 minutes. The lactation consultant told me that some babies are just lazy eaters and it might get better. [/quote]
