try offering breast before bottle to increase your supply, are you aiming to eventually breastfeed only or still supplement ?

for me pain only lasted maybe a week. there's a couple great bfing groups on Facebook if youre on there.

thank you! im still learning about everything. im just hoping i dont chicken out because of the pain. @mypreemieprincess

when they are first born, their tummies are so small. like the size of walnut. baby was likely getting enough. now your milk is in. if you go too long without feeding or pumping...you can get clogged ducts and/or mastitis. :/ do a weighted feed and you'll see baby is getting enough

im going to try tomorrow before i go home. i was working on breast feeding right after I had my daughter, but felt like she wasnt getting anything at all, soi gave up. well now my boobs are getting super hard. and hurt. so im going to attempt again tomorrow! @mypreemieprincess

I'd recommend connecting with a LC. babies have instinct of breast feed so put them there, they'll likely figure it out.
