Since having to introduce the bottle because Peanut was not gaining weight we have had some serious latch issues. She hasn't been interested in breastfeeding because the bottle was so much easier. One of Jess' friends gave us some advice on the technique of bottle feeding ... such as how to position her, how to hold the bottle, how to make her work a little harder for the milk. Then one of my friends gave us advice on getting some different bottles to help her transition back to the breast. Well we attempted to latch Little Miss Peanut to the breast today and she took to it like a natural. She still isn't eating an entire feeding from me, but she didn't drink all of her milk in the bottle this feeding...so I'm guessing she actually did get milk from me.
Let's hope that this trend continues and she gets back on the breast.
