Experience with bottle preference

You may want to see a lactation specialist as soon as possible if your goal is to breastfeed. I feel they value breastfeeding more than some pediatricians so they can be extremely helpful. My daughter had issues latching and I used a nipple shield for two months before I finally got her to latch properly. Don’t feel like a failure. Your worry is proof you are full of love and a good mom. You just need a bit of guidance🫶🏼

You could use a smaller nipple size for the bottle so that it comes out slower, when they feel like the breast comes out faster than the bottle they may prefer it over the bottle

I am dealing with this too and it is so frustrating and mentally challenging. I have worked with a lactation consultant and really the biggest thing is to keep offering the breast and trying different positions for feeding. I try talking/singing while I'm doing it to try and distract her from getting upset which sometimes works. As someone mentioned - check what size nipples are on the bottle - they should have to put forth effort to get the milk out. Also looked up paced bottle feeding- I don't do it exactly as it says because I don't feel comfortable giving so much air to my already gassy baby but I do make sure she is sitting more upright and the bottle is closer to horizontal so the milk is not just pouring into her mouth. I also try to make sure to take frequent breaks and stop to burp her often so she's not able to chug the bottle down super fast. I am holding out hope that things will get better but it is definitely hard trying to breastfeed and pump.
