[quote=Anonymous]I had the exact same situation but my baby didn’t not have a tongue tie. No amount of lactation consultant visits or specialists helped. He just did not like nursing. He did nurse but it would only be for 15 minutes max and then he was done. He was often still hungry because I did not make enough milk. My low supply was likely due to him not nursing for very long but I didn’t want to have to force him to nurse or pump just to get a little more breast milk. I had to supplement because of weight issues. I was worried at first about him rejecting the breast entirely after bottle feeding but it didn’t happen. He still doesn’t like the breast that much at 4 months but he is a more efficient nurser and only needs about 10 minutes to eat. I feel like supplementing takes the stress and pressure away. I know that is eating enough and I don’t have to worry about him rejecting bottles and formula if I ever decide to switch or my supply drops when I go back to work. My husband was able to feed him and that made things even easier for me. [/quote]
