its challenging and you will want to quit but don't give up. feed whenever you think baby is hungry...do skin to skin as much as your schedule allows and if you have to supplement with formula do it...to ensure your baby is getting enough to eat.

Use some nipple cream (the hospital should have some for you) and start putting it on from the very first feed! Even if they don't hurt do it anyways. It's safe for the baby so you don't have to take it off before feedings and your nipples will most likely get very sore without it! It was a total life saver for me. Many women stop because of pain so I tried to stay ahead of it lol the best thing you can do is prepare for it to be very time consuming but it is the best thing ever and creates a bond like no other! My son is only two months and he just stares at me constantly lol no matter who is holding him and how far I am across the room he just is constantly looking for me to see where I went or what I am doing and it's an amazing feeling😍

Okay thank you so much!! @santistevanmommie @thehowtohippie

Nurse on demand

Don't let anyone tell you to stop if you don't want to. And nurse nurse nurse when baby comes so your milk comes in. Don't let them give baby a paci or bottle because it can cause nipple confusion and make nursing so much harder
