She's been doing this for a few days though. :(</p> <p>@Kemma: I tried that a few times with varying results - I'll have to try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-latch#post-1540972 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:31:48 +0000 Kemma 1540972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try giving her your little finger to suck on (nail side down), sometimes a wee suck is enough to calm then down so they can latch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-latch#post-1540934 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:20:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1540934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO used to pop on and off for ages, getting really angry and frustrated. She eventually figured it out, with different positions helped by my doula. That being said, I had an overactive letdown, so she was choking a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-latch#post-1540917 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:15:17 +0000 Anutka 1540917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has your milk come in? She could have trouble latching if you are too engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-latch#post-1540842 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 18:35:43 +0000 fussygal 1540842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5 days old and we're still getting the hang of breast feeding. Her latch isn't super great - ouch - but sometimes it's awesome. Often she'll be rooting around with a big open mouth and squirming like crazy to find the nipple, but won't actually latch. She either continues to root around forever, eventually frustrating herself, attaches for a split second only to remove herself, or she kind of attaches with out suction and just sits there. We're seeing a lactation consultant tomorrow but any advice in the meantime on how to actually secure the latch would be great. </p>
