Trying to get your baby back to the breast… but every time you try, they cry, arch, or pull away? 💔
Here’s what most moms don’t realize 👇
When a baby is upset, crying, or starving — their little nervous system flips into fight or flight.
And in that state, they can’t learn something new (like latching).
So if you’ve been trying to get your baby back to breast while they’re screaming in hunger — please don’t blame yourself.
You’re not failing.
You’re trying to teach in a moment where their brain just isn’t ready to receive it.
✨ Here’s what to do instead:
➡️ Offer just ½ oz from the bottle first to take the edge off hunger.
➡️ Then bring them to the breast once they’re calm and regulated.
➡️ Make it a calm, low-pressure moment — no “feeding goal,” just connection.
This is where true progress happens.
Because when your baby’s body feels safe, their instincts turn back on.
That’s when latching gets easier. Milk transfer improves. And you both finally start to enjoy feeding again. ❤️
This gentle, step-by-step approach is exactly what I teach inside my Bottle-to-Breast Workshop — the proven roadmap to help you rebuild trust, restore your milk rhythm, and move from bottle reliance to peaceful, confident breastfeeding.
You don’t have to cry through every feed. You don’t have to pump 8 times a day forever. You can get back to the breast — and I’ll show you how.
