Can yall give me any tips or things I should know about breastfeeding? Please ? 😖😊
1. make sure to stay hydrated
2. if you want your milk supply to increase, pump every 2 -3 hours.
3. if it's super raw and hurts a lot, a nipple shield will come in handy. the shield will also come in handy in case the baby doesn't latch right away..
4. coconut oil and aquaphore help with the rawness
5. expressing helps your flow
6. make sure to get all the milk out your breast either by breastfeeding or pumping... so that the risk of getting mastitis decreases
7. there's. a lot of positions u can use to breastfeed baby.
8. keep taking your prenatals
9. if your going out (for long periods of time) make sure to take your pump with you.
It'll hurt like hell if they don't get a good latch. Also don't give your baby a pacifier! The nurse at the hospital gave my son one and now hes 10 days old and im having a really hard time with breastfeeding.
Lansinoh cream, don't give up!
