Hello All

I gave birth to a baby boy on 22/05/2013 at 3.20 am, Banbury, UK time.
Baby had a tongue-tie and had difficulties feeding from breast. It was operated on the 6th day of birth, but still he is not latching onto the breast. He is fine with bottle milk and expressed milk. I want him to feed directly from the breast. Please do advice when this will happen.

I am having a very difficult time as i am pumping the milk every 3 hours, trying to feed him from breast with no success. We have tried all the suggestions given to us by midwives, lactation consultants etc.

Just want to know how long i need to continue this and when I will be able to breastfeed my son?

Please reply soon - your suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help in advance.
