Taking a bottle

So I pumped today to give us a bottle to use tonight, was so excited to give me a break!! However she just will not take a bottle and had to throw it away 😫 any tips on getting her to take it? She had a bottle first week but now she's 8 weeks and has only been on the breast. We will keep trying but not sure if anyone else has been through this!

Silly question but did you warm the bottle? You could try pulling a drop or two out so she tastes it on the tip and is encouraged to suck on the nipple.

Can’t say mine was ever fond of the bottle. We tried different styles of nipples and a warmer but he still prefers the real thing.

Mounjaro

Can someone please guide me on what I can do. Ive accidentally binned the last box for my Mounjaro prescription. Im currently changing supplier and they want proof but obviously I have binned the box. How can I send proof of prescription? Can I do it from my gp notes? Its on my gp notes I just cant find an actual prescription on medexpress to do it. It just doesn’t have my name on the nhs app though.

Breastfeeding difficulties

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my baby but i am struggling. Went to lactation consultant multiple times. I am not producing enough milk and because of that my baby is losing weight. Can someone please give me tips to increase milk supply. I am BF the baby 8 times a day and then pumping and giving top-ups and now also top-ups of formula because of his weight issues.

Breastfeeding

I’m 6 days postpartum when does breastfeeding get ‘easier’ not having to keep latching baby and baby can latch themselves and also when does cluster feeding come to an end and they have longer sleep windows? Especially at night!! Thank you 🙏 I need to see if there is a light at the end of this tunnel 😭

Breast feeding after c section

Hi all, I had a c section a week ago and struggling to get my milk to come in, I was hoping to breast feed but I’m wondering whether my body isn’t going to be able due to having a c section, is that a thing? Has anyone else struggled with this after having a c section? Any tips or advice is welcomed!
