[quote=Anonymous]At 14weeks, I doubt he will latch unless you want to have some intense intervention with a LC. I would switch to formula if I was EP and not nursing. The only reason I nursed was because it was easier - pumping seems harder than mixing formula. My first child had a weak suck, but I put him to the breast for every feeding first and topped him up with pumped milk after each feeding. I was completely BF without bottles by 6 weeks. It was a grueling schedule, but it was my 1st kid and I was stubborn. If it was my second kid, I would have done formula and saved myself a lot of stress. I don’t see how the baby would have gotten stronger at latching and sucking if he was only practicing once a day. [/quote]
