Wow yall breastfeeding mommas weren't kidding when you said breastfeeding makes you thirsty and hungry 24/7!!! Oh and my breasts are engorged 😢😢😢
@kmally, that's a good idea! I've been using medela lanolin cream and lansinohs version too didn't think of coconut oik
Coconut oil on your nips helps heal! :) put it on before pump and they "glide" better too lol. Keep going you've got this 😘😍❤️
My nipples are about to fall off lol @edomke
Pump until the lumps are gone. That's what my lactation lady said
@pregolove2014, 😖😳😖 @edomke yes pumping totally relieves it! Not fully though! They're rock hard! I've tried massaging
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
Oh man I know what you mean cuz after my gallbladder surgery I was about to die
I know that feeling :/ I had a c section so I was in a lot of pain too
@kaydensmommy, I can see why cuz this is miserable! Topped with the soreness from my stitches my body is like 🎳
@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
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!!
yes love im sorry 😭pero that will relieve them & pump it out..would be the only thing that helped me 😳
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!
What is donor breastmilk. I'm worried that mine won't come in in time.
@jrose114, breastfeeding and donor breast milk til mine comes in
No latching has been tricky! Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't! But I'm pumping s ton of colostrum for him
is he latching good? ah I'm so happy for you! :)
It's been rough, but I'm sticking with it! He wakes up every hour or two to feed!

Breastfeeding.
I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
Can you take benadryl while breastfeeding?
