I'm a first time mom and I'm going to breast feed, can anyone tell me what I'm going to expect? Does it hurt or feel…

When you deliver, tell the nurses that you want to breast feed and they will help you with positioning and getting a proper latch! I put nipple cream on from the very first time and did it in between feedings for about a week and it helped so much! For some moms it's easy and others it's hard, I'm 2 months in and the first couple of weeks were rough for me cause my baby likes to eat allll the time, and I mean all the time lol. Every mother and baby is different but I can promise you that it is so worth it and it's an experience like no other!

@mrsoso, lansinoh ! Found at Walmart and you don't even have to take it off before feeding baby

@taegansmommy, I'm a first time mommy too , no negative thoughts , you can deff do it ! Good luck !!! I hope you are successful with it :)

I had soreness for the first 2 weeks or so... after my milk came in, I was just happy to have engorgement relieved lol! as for the question "can I handle it?" just remember, women have been breastfeeding for centuries, you can do anything! I'm 4 months in, and it's been getting easier since she was 6weeks... it just takes a little while for you and baby to figure things out, you're both new to it all (:

Hi @ilovebabyjosiah which nipple cream did you use? I'm two weeks in and in alot of pain but fighting through it.

Thank you so much! First time mommy and I would love for breast feeding to be successful for my little girl. I heard it's a lot better for them! @ilovebabyjosiah

I've been successfully breastfeeding for 5 weeks and at first it hurts , nipples real sore , I almost cried . I got nipple cream and it works wonders but the pain went away . And I only need nipple cream every once in a while now .
