MY BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY: BOTTLE TO BREAST AT 5 MONTHS - after exclusively pumping
*WATCH* -
BREASTFEEDING TIPS/ BACK TO BREAST TIPS: [ Ссылка ]
Hi all, welcome to my breastfeeding journey. So my son went from bottle feeding to breastfeeding, exclusively breastfeeding, at 5 months old. In this video I share my story how he went from the bottle to breast and back to breastfeeding after I was exclusively expressing for him. Our story also covers tongue ties, bottle aversion, breast aversion as well as bottle feeding and breastfeeding. It may also give you some ideas or tips if you are wanting to get back to breastfeeding or looking for ways to help baby to relatch. Whether you stopped, or baby has had issues, or has has a nipple strike, bottle preference, nipple confusion or a feeding aversion. My breastfeeding journey ends (although we are still breastfeeding now!) on a positive, so I really hope this video gives you some hope of getting baby back to breast if you are going through any of the struggles I talk about. I really know how it feels when you are struggling with breastfeeding so if this video and me sharing my bottle to breast story can provide some glimmer of hope, then me posting this video is so so worth it. I’m also going to share a video specifically around tips and ways to get baby back to breastfeeding after bottle feeding, so do stay around if you’d like to see that.
If you have any questions at all, then please let me know in the comments below! Or message me over on Instagram.
Also if you are experiencing any issues, then do seek out some support. There’s lots of great Facebook groups and the Lactation Consultant was so worth it!!
Thank you so so much for watching! I’ll put time stamps so you can skip to the parts you’d like to!
I really hope it reaches the people who need this most. I always looked for the light at the end of the tunnel and this video hopefully can show you there is some!

Thank you and lots of love to you 💖💖💖xxx
