too late to breastfeed?

posted 23rd Jan
I had my son on the 18th. I did try to BF in the hospital but couldn't really get the hang of it, I got a little overwhelmed, so I just went to the bottle. Now that my milk just came in yesterday, I just got this feeling to want to give it another try.. I feel I gave up too easily.

Is too late to try it b/c he has been on the bottle, and has used the pacifier?

Just try   squeeze a little milk on your nipple to get him interested and see how he does.

even if u cant get a good latch you can always pump the breast milk. Better than not trying at all. Baby may not be to find at first after having the formula but should get used to it. Good luck.

no give it a try!!!! And just remember that it may take more than one try to get him to latch well.....this happens to mothers who breastfeed from day 1 too...so dont be discouraged...3 days after my son was born I had medical complications and was unable to breastfeed for a few days. So he took a bottle,but then after a few tries at nursing, he did great!

I'm just afraid it won't work, like not enough milk will come out to satisfy him cause right now he will eat atleast on ounce & a half. My friend has a good pump she's cleaned/sterilized for me to use, if I wanted to. Will the transition to forumla hurt his belly, or anything?
