Help! Need advice. Baby is 5 months. Fully breasted. Majority by bottle. She sleeps with helper. In the last month, she refuses to latch at night. She was ok to do it last weekend during the day. ( full time working mother) .. I keep putting my breast to her face., and she cries like mad nowadays.. She jus cried until she vomitted jus now.. What should I do? Persist? I m Sooo tired and heartbroken.. It makes it worst that I have to balance time between 2 kids.. ( toddler boy ) .. Pls advice .. Give up or persist?

I have a feeling that it has something to the lack of skin-to-skin contact between you and baby. You mentioned that baby sleeps with the helper at night and that you are a full time working mom. Hence, there is a lack of skin to skin contact. And this could be the reason why she does not associate your breast with a positive experience. Spending lots of time in skin-to-skin contact with your baby on your bare chest can help to remind your baby that this is a nurturing place to be. You can try sleeping with her on some nights, or on weekends. Skin to skin contact can help your baby to use her instincts to find your breasts on her own. In this way, skin-to-skin contact can take the pressure off both of you. I hope things work out better for you and baby. Don't give up mommy!
