My 10 week old just latched and drank from me after all this time of exclusive pumping…

I had an emergency C-section because my son got stuck. My milk didn’t come in for 4 days. Because of that, he was on formula from a bottle for those 4 days. Breastfeeding was super important to me. I cried so hard when he couldn’t get any milk. He was latching okay but pissed about my nipples because no milk came out. After that he refused them and only took the bottle. Thus began my exclusive pumping journey for the past 2 1/2 months. I tried a few times to latch him early on but he just never would so I gave up.

My milk started turning BLUE, thin, and watery. He had such bad acid reflux from it. I don’t know why. His poops were green. I got the idea maybe I need to latch him just to make my milk adjust to what he needed and not be so blue?? Haha. Anyway, this morning I put him on expecting him to be disgusted at my useless nipples. He latched right away. Drank for 10 minutes. I even had to burp him. He spit up milk! I was so shocked. Now I can’t stop trying it. He’s actually drinking from me yall… this is your sign to keep trying if you haven’t even if it’s been months. There’s hope.
