Baby Won’t Latch?! Breast Refusal? Re-Birthing!

Is your baby refusing the breast? Having trouble latching? Was breastfeeding/nursing well before, and suddenly won't latch? Has your baby been bottle-feeding and you would like to get back to the breast? Are you dealing with nipple confusion? Baby preferring the bottle? Is it a nursing strike? Re-Birthing can be a tool that helps you work through this! Hear me out!

I was desperate by the time I found this video, so I gave it a shot. It worked!
My baby is about 3 weeks old and has always nursed like a champ. Last night he completely refused. I pumped twice, and he immediately took the bottle both times. Still, I know I can't pump and bottle feed all of the time, so I tried the bath.
It took a while but he did eventually start rooting around and latched on. He fell asleep while nursing in the bath, but after we got him out and dry and swaddled I nursed him again, and he fully drained one side before taking a nap.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I wouldn't have known what to do otherwise.

My baby was born with downs and she latched amazing at first but they needed her weight up and we bottle fed… I need this video so much!

I will try this tip, my son is 8 weeks old I’ve tried everything to get him to latch but failed.
He used to latch in the first week but I rushed by introducing bottles because I was nervous that he’s hungry, then gradually he started crying when I offered my breast. Every time I try I had to switch again to bottle.
Nipple shield by Philips was a little helper but then he refuse it after 5 minutes!
I’m still trying every day to get him to latch on :(

I hope this works. We have tried so many things after my son starting refusing me at 1 month old and nothing is making him want to nurse again 😔

I look forward to trying this with my 13 week old! I’ve been EP’ing since about 4 or 5 weeks old. She would nurse for 1+ hours, not get satisfied, fall asleep...we tried it all! Mom & baby we’re getting so frustrated! But I’d like to try again now that she is older. Milk supply is great! I’m just hoping we don’t run in to the same issues...

Has anyone done this effectively with a 9 month old. We've been having a heckova time getting him back to breast after basically preferring bottles due to daycare, illnesses, etc.

Some back ground, I’ve a 2 month old who won’t latch ... I’ve tried everything in my power and knowledge with no results... in hospital she didn’t latch well due to extremely flat nipples & high arch (which was diagnosed at 6weeks by LC & not in hospital) at hospital they scared me by giving her formula feed as they said she wasn’t drinking BM & scared me too much to where I started to pump as I didn’t want to give formula & ever since I’ve been pumping & giving her my milk in bottle & still been trying to direct latch her with no success... I want to try your suggestion but I don’t have a tub, we have a standing shower. So my question is how can I achieve rebirthing without a tub to lay & relax with baby in?

Will this work on a 9 month old baby ( corrected age is 8months). He stopped latching when he was about 3months old Only problem is now when I try to latch him, he bites the nipples really hard and it makes me cry out of pain. He has 4 upper teeth and 2 lower. Waiting for your reply. Thank you 😊

My son was preemie... will this work on a baby whose 1 year 9 months adjusted stopped nursing in April or may due to teething and its now july and is preferring bottles? Im trying everything.... nothing is working..I hope he hasn't forgotten how to latch... he actslike he hates being anywhere near my nipples but is curious at the same time...

My son is a week old. He was nursing but had to supplement with formula due to delay in milk production. I was nursing then doing bottle after. Now he won't latch at all. He will out the nipple in his mouth but won't suck. Any tips?

Do you have a method more c-section mom friendly? I like to send your videos to my moms as we are not seeing them here at WIC. C-section moms can not get into the bath right after having their babies. It's been hard for me to find videos discussing a c-section friendly re-birthing method.

[gayathripitchaimani]
