Default Re: Nip preference?

I am sure that is frustrating. I am sure you will get great answers here. One thing I know is that each time you offer her formula you are hurting your supply and you are increasing the chance of her learning that the bottle is much easier to get milk from than you. In my experience offering to feed her before she is starving can help because she won't get so upset. Also, while i know it is hard try to remain calm...it will help her relax too. I remember with my first I would get so tense when he didn't latch right on to eat. I am certain that made it worse for both of us. Good luck and good for you to want to keep trying. You can do it if you want to!
