Triple Feeding
Has anyone triple fed where their baby was not wanting to latch anymore during breastfeeding? We had to start triple feeding because her weight and she was breastfeeding for 30-50 minutes and not getting enough. Didn’t want to start triple feeding but had to for her weight, which is most important. But now she will cry and scream when I try to breastfeed her. I’ve tried bottle first for a few minutes and then try to give her my breast but she refuses.

@Karina I’ve been trying for about 5 minutes until moving onto the bottle. You’d suggest trying longer for her to latch?
Yes! I know it can be confusing because sometimes she’s simply tired. I started walking/bouncing her as she’s feeding and it helped me get her to stay on without getting upset. I know that can be a lot and I’m not sure if it’ll work but worth a try

She might be upset the your milk isn’t coming out as fast as it would with a bottle. My baby gets upset with this and I basically let her cry as she tries to drink my breast milk and within 10 mins she gets it. Hope that’s helpful!
