Like the above poster said try honey or karo on the nipple and he should nurse from it. There are so many nipples out there to try. I used the long thin ones that were almost like moms teats. |
It is very very scary.. and as long as baby is fussing.. and crying.. you know you have it in the right place.. that was the only thing that kept me going.. if she did not cry.. tube came out again and I would try again...anne
