I need help !!! My boobs are so hard my baby latches and sucks pretty well but the boobs are not responding. I don't know what's wrong I already breastfed my older child. But this time milk is not coming. They're so hard and only tiny drops come out !!!! What can I do she gets desperate after 20 minutes of not getting enough!!!!
@jgarciamua, she cries so desperately and I though she was getting enough at the end I realize she was still hungry
Try taking a warm shower before you feed her or use a warm compress and massage them before you feed her. That will help release some of the milk and hopefully soften you so she can latch better. My right boob does that and it could be a clogged milk duct or too much milk. The warm compress and massage helps me a lot, I hope it helps you.
message your books while she is nursing to help also try to lay down this happened with my daughter and I laid down and nursed her and that's the only thing that could work
How do you know she doesnt get full? @babyontheway2 its never the same thing. Since you just had your baby youre milk is coming in. The first days of a babies life colostrum is all they need
you can try hand expression or if you have a pump you can pump.. usually just enough to soften them so baby can latch better.
@jgarciamua, she is never full and my boobs are in a point of hurting if I touch them. This didn't happened last time! It's just so different I feel like they're clogged or something 😳
And babies wanna eat often because they digest the milk often and their tummy is so small when theyre newborns
Only once or twice a day! I came to the WIC office they told me the same thing as you did, they help me with breastfeeding classes and saw what I explained to you they end it up giving me a pump and telling me to alternate with formula she wasn't getting enough :(
