@arich13, how much are they? i wanted to get one vut didnt wanna send the husband to the store ifnit wasnt worth it
I had that problem also. My nipples were to small for his mouth. I used a nipples shield. That helped a lot with the latch.
mothers milk is a tea im not sure about thistle sorry. there's also pills. ive never tried any of it I didn't need any help when breast feeding...
thank you. i still try every day i just have small nipples
as long as you're pumping you won't lose it. it may decrease. keep trying to latch. his saliva tells your body to make milk. stay hydrated (aim for as least half your body weight in oz per day) smart water and Gatorade will help you stay hydrated. almonds. steel cut oats. lactation brownies/cookies/smoothies.
No as long as you have some type of stimulation it wont dry up. My son wouldn't latch either but i couldn't breastfeed anyway due to bipolar medication but i even tried to pump but it hurt too bad.
a lot of times it does slow because it's not the same. try nipple stimulation and mothers milk to keep it up as much as possible
perfect thank you
