my baby did bottle nd shield he now laches perfect with out shield and he never got nipple confusion niether so don't be scared to use a bottle with him or nipple shield. .. how are u doing tho momma did u get some relive?
Try not to worry too much being that it's just the beginning so you're both still learning what's best for you. To relieve the discomfort definitely start pumping if you haven't already. Staying engorged can lead to mastitis and you don't want that. Don't worry, if you have to feed baby your milk trough a bottle at first it's okay! I did it from day 9 to my son was about 2 months old because I had mastitis then thrush, etc. he went right back to boob even better than before, and we've been EBF ever since. If it's painful to get baby to latch buy nipple shields, some people swear by them! Try squeezing a little milk into baby's mouth and if you can manage it slightly pull their chin down while trying to get them to latch and it will help them get all the way on. Try different positions breastfeeding too! The way baby is positioned can affect your breasts and cause pain if you are repeatedly feeding in the same position. I hope this helps! For your pain you can also use ice/heat packs made by lansinoh specifically for your breasts. And if you don't already have some, get some nipple butter!
keep trying. do skin to skin contact. it takes a while for them to fully figure it out. you can also pump like the lovely lady above me suggested. but try to get baby to latch before giving a bottle. at that age it can lead to nipple confusion and that's very very hard to fix. you could also use a nipple shield but that can also be hard to get them off of. just keep trying. stay calm. they can feel you getting antsy so they do as well.
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
So I finally kicked him out because I'm tired of getting yelled at for expressing my feelings. I literally feel dumb for wasting my time. But now he took my car.
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...
Sucks. I won't be able to feel my baby boy like every other first time mom:/ my placenta is in the front of my baby. I know I should be happy that he is healthy and growing. But it sucks that I can't do anything about it.. And I won't be able to feel him constantly until he gets bigger and his movements are stronger.
Everyone is telling me it's going to be ok. I'm sure it will, but it just sucks. I was so anxious to feel every movement. I'm even considering buying a heart monitor until I could ...
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill?
He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over...
