<< I tried all different techniques to get him to latch properly each feed- but we suceed for about 2-3 minutes of sucking each feed but his suckling wasn't strong I hope. With, what I've shown Mum and Ma in Law, hopefully, they will persevere. >> Robyn, I love your ingenuity. I am not surprised that the baby cannot latch well for long, these little ones are sometimes working with such low tone and and get tired very quickly. I hope the mom will persevere too. If the mom knows all the advantages of just protecting her supply, so her baby can get all the terrific benefits only SHE can provide, that might keep her going. Baby will take a long time to feed, and not be easy, no matter how fed. At least with her milk, and her using the special bottle she can give him the best, AND give it in a way that respects what his body is currently capable of, not overwhelming him with flow like a regular bottle might and saving him from being all panicky and not enjoying feeding. Good luck, Robyn, she is lucky to have you in her corner!
