Our second kid did the same thing. Keep at trying to get a latch and utilize the lactation consultants at your hospital (usually covered as part of the full delivery package) until baby gets better at it. Use good quality formula until then. Pumping helped a lot with milk supply and those lactation cookies helped too. It sucks for the first couple of weeks but honestly it usually gets better once your wife and baby get more used to it.

Both my daughters were this way. One thing I’d offer is be as supportive of your wife as possible. This can take a real mental toll. Formula today is not what it was 30+ years ago. Both my kids are completely healthy and developing on the right side of the bell curve. Good luck!

Wife rented hospital grade pump ($100/month) to stimulate milk production.

Our hospital runs a breastfeeding support group every week. My wife loves going, said it helped her a ton.

Pump was the way for us

Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
