My daughter is only a week old, she would latch right at the beginning but now she's just latching to my nipple. how can I get her to latch the areola some and not just my nipple?
She's so young too so keep at it. It's the first couple weeks that are the absolute worst. But keep at it! It's worth it
Yeah sounds like a bad latch. Just unlatch her, as painful as that is, and try again. When my nipples hurt, I put a ton of coconut oil on them between feedings. And I'd ice them too. Take care of those nips girl and keep trying for a wide latch.
Yeah its painful for the first min and my nipple hurts like crazy even when I'm not feeding.. @haileybuttons
To get her to latch onto more, tickle her bottom lip with your nipple to make her open her mouth wider then press her whole body against yours. Is it painful when she's latching?
As long as your not in pain and she is happy I'm sure it's all good
My son has been exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months now.. His mouth just shuts around the nipple and his lips are like against my areola.
@sev1226, she's supposed to latch to some of the areola..
I'm a little confused... Baby only needs to latch to your nipple
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
