I really Want to breast feed my child and I know some women have a lot of trouble being able to. any tips on increasing or improving breast milk production? im so early I only have the clear stuff now but I'm asking ahead of time.
Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.
Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Breast Feeding With Piercings... I have my nipples pierced. But I want to know if I can still breast feed with them in. I know I have to take them out while breast feeding. But if I can't, I'll try to do pumping for him. But if all fails, I'll be having to give him formula. I don't want to give him formula, but if I have to, I will.
does anyone know if I could get a breast pump if I have medi-cal? wic already said no
my free breast pump is on its way I'm so excited .. so glad that I didn't have to pay so much money for a breast pump

1.)latch baby frequently. 2.)skin to skin contact with your baby is important.
3.)never neglect night time feedings. or when your baby starts sleeping through the night wake up and pump. for some reason there is a direct correlation between loss of milk and not feeding or pumping at night

Also, do your best to not use bottles. using bottles means you aren't using what nature gave you. lol

well I bought a pump and storage bottles so that if someone ever needs to watch him for any reason I can pump.. so I'll definitely pump at night too then! thanks so much @rlcorreia123

id refrain from supplements. most of the moms i know used fenugreek and blessed thistle, it upped their supply for a small time, then all of a sudden they couldn't breast feed anymore. just pump/feed often

oh, also, if your little one has a hard time latching, and breast feeding makes your breasts sore, your baby might be tongue tied, thats an easy fix, take the little one to a pediatrician for a referral to a water laser specialist

i ran into a huge problem feeding my baby because she was tongue tied and no one at the hospital was bright enough to notice or let me know.
