I need some advice.. I have been nursing and supplementing until my milk came in.. well I'm definitely engorged and ready and we just had our first feed without supplementing. but I'm so uncomfortable. I tried a hand pump and it's so painful.. I have flat nipples and have to use a shield and it's so difficult. I'm just so sore. any advice?
it hurt me for about 2 weeks and I didn't think my daughter was latching either but just make sure his mouth is over your whole areola not just your nipple
also if you just wanna breastfeed I wouldn't supplement for the first month because your body will get confused and make less then he eats
That's great news @mrs.cravens do you think he's latching correctly if it's uncomfortable? I just hate that shield but he can't latch without it
try taking a warm shower and massage them until you can get them soft enough to hand express or maybe a warm wash cloth
your body will adjust to what your baby eats. your breast will stay like that for a few days and then eventually they stop becoming engorged.
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.

The first 2 weeks I thought my boobs were going to explode because they were overproducing. Definitely use heat and massage them and try to pump even if it's painful that's the only way it will feel better. You can also take advil and Tylenol to help with the pain
