Wow yall breastfeeding mommas weren't kidding when you said breastfeeding makes you thirsty and hungry 24/7!!! Oh and my…

how's it going mama?

It's been rough, but I'm sticking with it! He wakes up every hour or two to feed!

@ngujen,

is he latching good? ah I'm so happy for you! :)

No latching has been tricky! Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't! But I'm pumping s ton of colostrum for him

Are you only doing breast feeding or are you also doing formula?

@jrose114, breastfeeding and donor breast milk til mine comes in

What is donor breastmilk. I'm worried that mine won't come in in time.

There's an amazing breast milk bank near my house where women who overproduce donate their milk there. It's not just anyone either they are always screened and the milk is pasteurized. It costs an arm and a leg but anything for him!

massage them under warm water wen u bathe 😬

shower i mean lol

It hurts!!! @gabby0317

yes love im sorry 😭pero that will relieve them & pump it out..would be the only thing that helped me 😳

I tried breastfeeding but it made me so upset and in pain I stopped:/ I wish I hadn't though!!! I really wish I pulled through and kept doing it but I'll try next baby!(if there is one! Lol!) good luck mama!!

@gabby0317, when I pump only a little comes out like 20 ml 😢 so it stay hard! I'll try massaging it in the shower later

@kaydensmommy, I can see why cuz this is miserable! Topped with the soreness from my stitches my body is like 🎳

I know that feeling :/ I had a c section so I was in a lot of pain too

Oh man I know what you mean cuz after my gallbladder surgery I was about to die

Mines too sadly

Make sure you pump for comfort and save it! Don't self express unless you have to. I've kept all my milk whether if it was just an ounce to seven ounces

@pregolove2014, 😖😳😖 @edomke yes pumping totally relieves it! Not fully though! They're rock hard! I've tried massaging

Pump until the lumps are gone. That's what my lactation lady said

My nipples are about to fall off lol @edomke

Coconut oil on your nips helps heal! :) put it on before pump and they "glide" better too lol. Keep going you've got this 😘😍❤️

they have nipple shields in babies r us

helps protect a sore nipple during breast feeding

@kmally, that's a good idea! I've been using medela lanolin cream and lansinohs version too didn't think of coconut oik

@mommy2b2016, I have one since he has trouble latching, but when I pump they hurt so bad!
