I know I had my son less then 12 hours ago but breast feeding is already stressing me out some what! I feel like we both get frustrated with my right nipple because it is slightly inverted 😥 he latches great on my left side... I meet with the lactation consultant tomorrow but I will be feeding him in an hour or so again so any tips would be greatly appreciated! I love that he is getting all he needs from me and don't plan on giving up but I just want to not feel so frusturated..
we are doing well with it now! thank you all! @abeljames2015 @bentleysmomma @bianca_rose
Use the nipple shield to just pull the nipple out, like put it on and take it off a couple of times. Then do what abeljames said and flatten your breast and try to get the whole areola in his mouth
@bentleysmomma, he didn't want anything to do with that. 😟
@abeljames2015, thank you. I think part of my problem is I don't really put it in his mouth I just put it to his lips. also the hardest part is my incision hurting so it is somewhat hard to hold and move him where I need him.
Smoosh your boob like a hamburger, rub your nipple area on his top lip and when he opens his mouth wide shove it in. His lips should be flanged. I found the football hold to be the best for myself. Ask for nipple shields if you can! They will help bring your nipple out.
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...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Yay!
