Help dont know what to do
I cant breastfeed like i wanted too!
Baby has a tongue tie and a very badly bruised cheek from the delivery which stops him from opening his mouth wide. I have large breasts but flat nipples, It just wont work!
Baby is now 3 days old, hospital wernt very helpful with latch problems, after my nipples being shreaded and my baby going hypo because im diabetic i asked for a bottle and have been giving him formula via a bottle.
Feel awful about it as i have all my colostrum so ive been syringing it off when i can and giving it to him only a 1 to 2 ml at a time.
Do i continue to express and get my milk in and use a pump to give him milk i really do know what to do?

I'm no expert but I would think expressing & then you feeding your baby the expressed milk is a positive thing whilst you get some support to hopefully help you breast feed.
Good luck
