who got baby to latch on after previously expressing?
in Baby
a friend of mine is currently expressing for every feed as her baby was born tongue-tied. i know someone on here went through the same and managed to get baby on the breast. i thought it was called rebirthing, but have just googled it and it appears that's not right!!!
does anyone know more about it?

I did rebirthing during relactation...it involves lying in the bath and someone then places bubba on your tummy (helps if they're quite sleepy I found and hungry but not yet ravenous) and they should naturally start to work their way up to seek out the nipple. It took us a few attempts, but teamed with almost 24:7 skin to skin it really worked for us. I also started using breastflow bottles which are a lot harder to drink from which stopped my lazy little bugger just taking the easy option!

Just found this link on my favourites - think Maenad gave it to me actually!!
