Still having breastfeeding issues. 😭 I'm producing more now but he won't stay latched for more than a couple mins then pulls away and cries. When in the hospital we did so much better, but just didn't make enough. I feel like I can't win. I'm sticking it out, I'm pumping like crazy and eating/drinking things to assist with lactation. I will be calling the lactation consultant when this holiday is over.

Try nursing laying down beside him so you guys are facing eachother, it may help!
if you have a fast let down you can always lay on your back and let baby on top of you to feed.
if you are having a fast let down, and he pulls away, allow it to pass then let him drink again. my son did the same thing, thats the only thing you can really do when you start off with a fast let down
fb group "Breastfeeding the struggles we've overcome" lots of educated admins and support.
well yes and no. a lot of drs are not educated very well on breastfeeding and latching, reason why we have lactation consultants. you should definitely get one. look online at lip and tongue ties see what you think this way you can decide if you need a second opinion. some babies can latch fine with them and some can't. try different positions too.
@kabeej, If you feel like he is tongue tied I would call his pediatrician and ask for an appointment to check. And definitely call a lactation consultant, they can help a lot!
Nipples shields are great for babies having issues latching well but it makes it easier for them to get milk but also controls the flow so they don't get overwhelmed with milk flow!
I'm 6 days postpartum. I thought maybe he was tongue tied, but wouldn't the doctor tell me about this? I might try a nipple shield. I just want this to work out. Thanks for the advice @mommyofmisters , @klachappelle , @jomommaclark
fenugreek vitamins and brewers yeast vitamins are good to take.
also that could also be him telling your breast to produce more milk.
@thehowtohippie, I think it's not coming out fast enough for him. Like I'm not having a let down
I agree with @thehowtohippie you're letdown is probably too forceful and he's getting frustrated. I would contact a lactation consultant and see how you should go about fixing it.
He's probably pulling off during a let down. Yours maybe too fast and it's bothering him
AM I THE ONLY ONE
Who feels like when I'm on the highway traveling and me and a car follow eachother for awhile, I feel like we are friends and when they exit I get sad?!? Because if I'm not the only one who feels like this then I have the BEST story of my life for you.
Losing hope for our rainbow
So I'm 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I was at work last night and needed to use the the bathroom....tmi...when I looked down the toilet bowl was full of bloody water. When I wiped there was nothing. I've had no pain and more more bleeding since. I went to the er but there wasn't much they could do because I'm so early. They checked my levels (6140) and booked me in for an early scan on Friday. I feel like I've already lost the baby ? I don't know what to do
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Doc says I'm still 2cms and I'm about 60-70% softened but baby hasn't dropped completely and I just wanna cry like if she hasn't dropped all the way then why does my pelvics feel like this somebody help how do I get this baby to drop more 😞🤦🏽♀️
try using a nipple sheild.. also, maybe your let down is too fast or too slow. ....
