Ladies how long does your little one stay latched on? After 10 minutes of breastfeeding my boob is burning! I'm still trying though. I don't want my supply to dry out. 😣 Also does WIC have lactation consultants?

I think wic only has counselors and refers out. Not 100%
10mins is a good amount but when mine was little he'd latch for 20mins or more.

Wic has consultants. The first 6 weeks I pumped because it hurt so bad to breastfeed. I bought myself some nipple butter and latched baby on again. It does get easier. If baby latches on correctly you shouldn't have pain. Get in contact with a consultant to help with feedings. 😊

@kambam, I give him more than 10 minutes but sometimes I have to take him off because it hurts too much.

@jacey3, I'm hardly able to pump.

Oatmeal helps with production, water is a must and latching baby on as much as possible. My mother in law gave me chocolate abuelita with ruda. My milk flow was great.

Do you guys have a bad latch? I breastfed with a bad latch for a while. It sucked and I was miserable.

@kambam, we probably do. I'm not sure how to latch properly or who can guide us.

Have you tried YouTube?? It can be helpful until you get further help. Look for deep latch techniques or signs of bad latch etc. I had to learn myself because all the consultants I saw werent helpful

My WIC have me an appointment with a certified lactation consultant. I saw her (cost free) about six times and was able to EBF since I started seeing her (: ask!

Use a nipple Shield to help with the pain you can buy it at Walmart
