Bottle Feeding

Aw, I feel you mama! Honestly, direct latching can take time especially if baby's been on the bottle or shield, a few of us tried gradual transitions, like offering the breast without the shield for just a few minutes during feeds when baby's not too hungry yet, then going back to the shield if needed, para ma-adjust sya slowly. But this really depends on baby's latch and your nipple shape din, kaya best to check with your lactation consultant or OB para makakuha ng hands-on help, they can spot kung ano exactly ang hirap at may specific techniques talaga for your situation. You're doing great trying, mama, sending you patience and good latch vibes!
