But here we are. My baby, Ada Verastic has utterly refused to suck my breasts. She latches on to my nipple sometimes and sucks for a few minutes, the she lets go and starts crying. More like screeching. Then her hands start flailing all over the place and she starts kicking rapidly. If you did not know why she was crying, you probably think that I pinched her really hard and then squirted peppery lemon juice in her eyes. But no, it&#8217;s just a breast problem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Breastfeeding.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11391\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Breastfeeding.jpg\" alt=\"Breastfeeding\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Breastfeeding.jpg 750w, https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Breastfeeding-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Right from when Ada Verastic was born, she just never had a real interest in my breasts. She got her colustrum, but even that was a problem because we had to sometimes spoon-feed it to her. So I feed her with a feeding bottle. I do not feed her anything other than breast milk, but I have to pump it out and then feed her through her bottle. Good thing I spent $30 buying a stylish nursing coverup that I will not get to use (unless my next baby decides to put Ada Verastic to shame).<\/p>\n<p>Why isn&#8217;t she sucking? I don&#8217;t know for sure, but I suspect it might have something to do with my nipple. You see, I have a porblem you might be all too familiar with: the big for nothing problem. In other words, big breasts, small nipples. It&#8217;s all too real. Who would have thought?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But why aren&#8217;t you feeding the baby?&#8221; the inquisitive minds of my parents want to know. Although I have explained to them (mom especially) that Ada Verastic has a preference and she&#8217;s not afraid to let it be known, I am still consistently asked the same question. Apparently, in the minds of my parents, not feeding her through my nipples ultimately means not feeding her at all. By now, you know the kind of parents that I have, so I will not be bothering to argue with them. Mom especially.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I was very concerned about Ada Verastic not wanting to latch on because I thought maybe she does not like breast milk, but I felt a lot better once I realized that she actually likes breast milk. So for now, she&#8217;s strictly on the breast milk diet, and every now and then, we try the nipple thing. She latches on and sucks when she feels like it.<\/p>\n<p>I have been given many theories about babies and their likelihood to like breast milk. I have been told that baby boys tend to like their mommy&#8217;s breast more than baby girls. I don&#8217;t know if there is any truth to this, but I have filed this right under Old Midwife Tales, just as people tried to predict if I was having a boy or a girl based on how I was carrying. Side note, most people predicted that I would have a boy. Ha! Where are all of you now oh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to say, I never really predicted that one day, I would be on Verastic and complaining about someone not sucking my breasts.
