I really hope the lactation person at my doctors can fix Ana and i's issue π© we are both too impatient to breast feed and pumping makes me feel weird ( if that makes sense ) so I pump and use formula when I wanna avoid it.. I miss that closeness! I'm almost tempted to go try to feed her right when she wakes up again. Because anyone can give her a bottle with milk or formula, but only i can directly feed her from my boob.
@brieeleigh, thank you! She is just a lazy eater the nurses at the hospital said :/ but I'll try
@brieeleigh, it's worth it but it's super hard at 3 am when she's super hungry and screaming and frustrated bc you can't give her what she needs ;/ I can't wait for this appointment! Maybe it's as simple as a wrong latch (it always felt like a sharp pain) that can be corrected. But thank you! I will keep trying and maybe it'll be easier when my milk actually completely comes in. Hopefully it'll work out
BF can be difficult at times & not everyone can get the latch Just stick to it if you really want to benefit both you & your daughter.. It takes time & patience most defiantly. Do what works for both you & her. I hated hated pumping but I got through it cause that's what I wanted for my daughter was strictly Breastmilk. don't let anyone tell you what's better or anything like that just do what yu need to do for you & your daughter .. I hope you get the help you need with the latch & anything else while nursing ask any questions you have for the consultant. They are there to guide you through it. Deff worth the patience & the " struggle " to have the bond between your baby.
@brieeleigh, thank you!
