My son is 4 days old. He latched on better before, but now when I offer him the breast he gets frustrated very easily and screams and cries and throws his head back. my milk is just starting to come in and I have started pumping per the pediatrician's instructions since he was losing too much weight. I think the bottle fed expressed milk has made him not want the breast. What should I do to help him latch on?

I want you to see a lactation consultant.
