[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I was told by the lactation consultant and the pediatrician to continue to syringe feed but offer the breast and bottle. We see the pediatrician next week, but I have talked on the phone with him earlier this week and that’s what he suggested I do.

I bought 5 more bottles - Comotomo, Nanobebe, Tommee Tippee silicone, Mam, and Munchkin to try. I will continue to try others if none of these work. I also ordered a SNS that can be used on the breast and bottle.

I do want to breastfeed and give him breast milk since it’s the best choice. We are in a formula shortage and I do not want to be worried about formula. I make 32oz a day for the last week. I want to try to get him to breastfeed or take a bottle and take pumped milk. I would be more willing with formula and I’m open to formula if the pediatrician says to supplement, but I don’t want to do that if we don’t have to.

Ignore the trolls. You’re probably one of the only posters on here that actually took the advice and wasn’t combative. You listened to earlier posters ( myself included) and took the advice + bought all the supplies that was suggested. You’re dining a great job! Your baby is lucky to have a mom and dad who cares so much about him! Focus on what the medical experts told you and not the trolls on this board who don’t know you or your baby. I hope things work out and your baby takes to breastfeeding or a bottle! I was there for the first month and it was rough. [/quote]
