It makes me so happy I can provide milk, but sad that I have to give my baby breast milk through a bottle, but he's just not having the breast 😢
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Producing breast milk is so hard...i tried the mothers tea, i drink a lot of water and milk...I do have milk but barely make it to half bottle what else can i do???
Is it possible to run out of milk??? I have barely any breast milk coming out and my baby is getting frustrated luckily I have some in the freezer😣
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
Left & right breast ...I pumped the right breast after I fed baby Cruz ...I am beyond blessed & thankful to be producing so much but my GOODNESS it hurts to have full breast! 😣 I had no clue! Lol, can u imagine how it feels to have all this milk in ur breast 😕 I can't complain tho bc baby is fed 💁🏽

I would try using a nipple shield! Makes your breast much like the shape of a bottle nipple! It saved me (and my nipples!) with my son

@mamadove, omg I purchased one for myself but not sure when a good time to start using it? I was hoping as soon as I get home from the hospital lol?

Personally I would start using it immediately until you can wean off of it. Sorry this is going to be tmi but my nipples were BLEEDING the first few days bc I didn't know about nipple shields and I had to keep nursing him through it so I wouldn't dry up 😳😵 lol the pain was worse than my csection lol but as soon as I started using the nipple shield my life and nips were saved lol and you only have to use it for a couple weeks while baby learns to latch and then you can switch them to nursing without it by simply starting the session with the shield and quickly removing it and putting them back on your boob. Sorry this is such a long response but I wish I knew these things before I first nursed :) @sharellesocray

Also you don't have to worry about buying more bc the hospital has some you can ask for! The lanonin kind too :) bc I believe in the store they're like $10? @sharellesocray

Also @deefrasee don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing great by your baby putting in all that extra work of pumping! Don't give up if you don't want to, lactation consultants can fix any latch problem especially since you have kept your supply up! But also don't feel like a failure if you have to keep pumping or even if you have to switch to formula. Being a new mom is overwhelming and the important thing is that mom and baby are healthy, unstressed, and baby is fed. Don't feel guilty you're doing great!
