The first days of breast feeding are so hard! 😫 She's latching but not really correctly... My…

If she's not latching correctly then you should talk to and visit your lactation consultant.

I did. I was just over tired and we were both getting frustrated. Which doesn't help matters. Things are a little better now. Still can't get her to latch to left breast@mommabear538

some babies have a preference. mine did

Hmm ? Ok thank you good to know @mommabear538

your welcome @emmz, just make sure to pump the side she doesn't latch to because, as I'm sure you know, it can be very painful to get engorged. I have gotten so engorged I've had to hand express before I could pump.

Omg! @mommabear538

Yeah it was horrible. @emmz

So I have a hand pump from the hospital and I just tried to pump.... I pumped for like 15 mins both breasts and got a little under an ounce...they feel a little better now but damn all that work and that was it...😑

@mommabear538,

how old is baby? @emmz

She was born 2/15/16

@mommabear538,

the health department maybe able to help with an electric pump, also thrift shops cart them. mine is used but easy to sterilize

@emmz,

then your producing fine, but hand pumps are a pain when she starts eating more. @emmz

Tell me about it! @mommabear538 thank you again ❤️
