Hi
Our LO was born last Friday by ventouse and despite my birth plan I was whisked away for repair surgery and did not see her for over an hour by which point hospital said we needed to syringe feed just to get something in to her.
Whilst in hospital midwives helped me with feeding but since we have been home she does not latch on. It got so bad I reluctantly resorted to expressed milk and formula in bottles which I have found upsetting. I know it doesn't make me a bad mother but it was not what we had planned. Going to bf clinic tmw for more advice and seeing Cranial Osteopath this afternoon but I am concerned that the longer it goes on the less likely I will be able to breastfeed - any advice welcomed.
Thanks
