U may have to just pump now. I was told not to give a bottle when first starting to bf becuz of nipple confusion. Hope it works out for I. Good luck!! And congrats!! :)

Try pumping that might help with your soreness and mix it with formula about 50/50 to start with and slowly ween here off of formula by cutting back the amount of formula you use with more breast milk that might help

Maybe express ur breast milk into a bottle and kinda mix it for formula and see if she'll take that? And then eventually move to full breast milk?

meant she was NOT Satisfied at hospital
