It went pretty well  ;D
I started with the nipple shield for the first 3 mins and then switched to bare breast, it didn't hurt at all the first feed but the subsequent feeds hurts a little bit at the beginning. As soon as I correct her chin and make her open wider it stops hurting.

She is now off course eating every 2h instead of every 3 with the bottle...((sight)), but I'm happy I'm finally able to feed her with the breast. Now I'm concerned about my milk supply needs to go up!! because with the pump it was good (not a lot but good), now she falls asleep very fast and does not feed very efficiently.
I need to be patient I know. I still take Domperidone, Fenugreek and Blessed T

Thanks to you all!!

Onwards and upwards now I hope. Well done mama. I'm sure your supply will return to normal soon.
