2 weeks old and going strong! I was so scared of breastfeeding because my first wouldnt latch and he lost weight but uts…

@rosiel49 I hope its because of that I can't stand the pain I bought nipple shields I hope they help. thank you, you too

@adrianasmtz1994 if she is properly latched on just hang in there mama. Im told it gets better with time. I complained about the pain this passed week and im told i just have to wait it out and itll get better. Best of luck mama!! I hope it all works out

@rosiel49 idk maybe and ugh I know its happened to me too I cried with my 2nd baby and well I think she's latching on wrong. I have a WIC appointment this week coming maybe they will help me

@adrianasmtz1994 hmmm. Maybe your nipples are just sore? I know mine get sore and hurt when my son latches some times. My nipples have even cracked and sometimes when he latches i have to stop from crying but hes latched properly according to the consultant. It suuuuuucks

@rosiel49 she latched on wrong again 🙁 I had to get a manual pump and some cream

@adrianasmtz1994 yay!!!! Im so happy for you

@rosiel49 I BREASTFED AAHHHHH YAY she latched on better to my left side than my right I'm SSOOOO happy 😆😆😊😄

@rosiel49 well I'll see what happens hopefully everything goes as planned and I was a formula fed baby too and well my first was breastfeed only

@adrianasmtz1994 in a way it is but never feel ashamed if you cant. Not everyone can. I was a formula fed baby and im totally healthy. So was my first son.

@rosiel49 yeah true but everyone says breastfeeding is better that's why I want to try

@adrianasmtz1994 youll never know unless you try 😉 but dont stress too much. Shes getting the nutrition she needs either way

@rosiel49 yeah I'm trying to do my best with my kids. I wonder if it's a bit late to try again breastfeeding her she's already getting use to formula since it comes out the bottle faster

@adrianasmtz1994 dont feel bad. It happens. I had to formula feed my oldest too cuz it just wasnt working out. All you can do is your best

@rosiel49 yeah they tried to help me out but idk I guess I wasnt doing it right but hopefully when I go to Wic they will help me better. Hmm okay I'll definitely try oatmeal and the other stuff thanks a lot ☺😊. right now my baby has been on formula I feel bad for not breastfeeding her since my breast are sensitive.

@adrianasmtz1994 have you tried talking to lactation consultants. I met an amazing one at the hospital i delivered at. She is what made all this possible. As far as the milk production....eat and drink things with oats and and barly and such in it. I eat oatmeal 2 time a day, i drink malta, and anything with barly is my friend. Those things really help your milk production. Its does wonders for mine. Without it id be all dried up already. 2 days without any of the stuff and i go from pumping 4 ounces (from each side so 8 all together) to maybe 1 and a half. It helps alot. Also try some of the products they have out there to help with production. Im planning on trying them also. And drink tons of water! Thats also a huge factor

lucky I'm scared to breastfeed my nb baby girl because my 2nd latched wrong it hurt so bad plus I don't produce much milk 🙁😔
