Anyone breastfeeds or plan to breastfeed? How long did it take for your milk to come in? Did you…

I had good colostrum a few weeks before delivery, and my milk came in about 3 days after I had her. I didn't do anything specific to bring it in, just hand expressed to keep it up until I got my milk

Besides how my delivery is going to go, I'm nervous about breastfeeding. Having enough supply and sticking to it worries me @graciesmom2016

mine came in on the third day and the first few weeks are the hardest but you have to stick it out your nipples will be sore but her some good nipple cream it helps @chill

I see lots of women giving up on it and giving there babies formula because they are unaware of cluster feeding and want to "sleep" Smh @bethleann Any nipple cream you recommend?

it is frustrating and painful that's why people give up to easy I hate formula and can't stand it so I refused to give up and I think I got mine from Wal-Mart I think the brand was madela or something like that it's in an orange and white tube it worked great for me you can also use coconut oil that stuff helps to but yes people aggravate me when they think about their self and not their child .. @chill

this stuff

I've had colostrum for about 2 weeks now & I'm 32 weeks. Mine like drizzles out. W/my 1st little girl my actual milk came in about 2 days after she was born but she latched on great about 3 hours after she was born, the colostrum is extremely healthy for them :) & the only suggestion I can think of to boost your supply is drink lots & lots of fluids. I'm talking like 8 glasses of water or more. Plus massaging your boobs a lot helps speed up the milk. & w/e happens DO NOT give up. Even when you think it's not going to work stick it out. It's not easy. But it's worth it. Oh & don't use pacifiers because the baby will try to stop taking the nipple sometimes when they take pacifiers.

Sorry it's so long lol but no one gave me many tips when I first started so it was extremely difficult for me starting out. Also if you have inverted nipples or stubborn ones nipple shields are kind of helpful :)

Ok I've seen that before. I'll have to get some. Yes some people are very selfish after having babies. It's not about u anymore!! That's what they don't understand. There's no such thing as sleep. Lol! @bethleann

Not a problem at all. I really appreciate the advice and tips. I won't give up. I'm going to stick it out and do what it takes. I've heard you have to stay very hydrated. I'm against pacifiers. I didn't even put any on my registry for my baby shower @momma312

Same here :) my second girl will be here March 14th & I've been blunt about the pacifiers lol. As long as you put in the work & stay healthy it shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck Hun!

that's what I used with my first it helped a lot I gotta get more and exactly my daughter is one now and finally somewhat sleeps thru the night but I breast Fed her for a year till I got pregnant and my milk dried up

I breastfed My 1st for 15 months. took 3 days for my milk to come in but I did have a good bit of colostrum. I got pregnant when she was 13 months and couldn't stand the feeling anymore.

I'm considering breastfeeding for a year. Maybe a little bit longer. Thank you all for the advice and tips @bethleann @nicemmcha2015

Your more than welcome I love giving people advice and stuff @chill

Yes! Same here @bethleann I'm gonna try to keep giving updates for those that are behind me. It may help them

right I love helping others I wish I had things like this to go to when I was pregnant with my first it would have helped a lot @chill

I wish I would've known about this when I first found out I was pregnant @Beth leann Could've told u all about the whole journey
