Okay so question. I didn't wanna breastfeed, I had decided against it. But now my baby girl's 4 days old and I just wanna do everything I can for her. What would happen if I started breastfeeding her now??? I can tell my boobs are very full, I just don't know if it would work. I feel bad that I didn't at least try and I want to if y'all think it would work.

The hot shower will make your breasts practically pour out milk, so that's why your nurse mentioned that, if you're wanting your breasts to dry up and not breastfeed. But, since you're deciding to give it a try, then the hot water will do you good. If you're not exactly sure on how to properly get the baby to latch, then I would highly recommend watching some YouTube videos. Improper latching will cause you severe pain and nipple bleeding, which will then cause the baby discomfort because you're in too much pain to nurse. If you have any issues with getting the baby to latch, you can always resort to just pumping and feeding her breastmilk through the bottle. If you have any questions or concerns, you have plenty of moms here that will help guide you through this. Just keep in mind that if it doesn't work out, at least you tried. If the baby has been to resort to formula feeding, then at least she's healthy.
@chelseamarie91, I'm hoping I can do it!! Is there anything specific I need to be doing? I had my boobs wrapped up and I took the bandage off and they're already leaking like crazy. The nurse at the hospital said something about not letting the shower water run over my boobs since I wasn't breastfeeding??? @haleybae, I really hope so! Her first pedi appt is Monday so I will ask
If you want to then you should try! Breastfeeding is supply and demand though so don't quit if it doesn't work right away.. I didn't even get any milk until 4 or 5 days old
Just bought "mybabybeat" app and it worked !! I can now listen to my baby's heartbeat when I want ❤️😊
something is wrong! her dad never came home last night! he would never do that knowing he's gotta watch his daughter while I'm at work... glad I can bring her to my job and my parents will come get her but I'm so scared right now!
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
This is what happens when a littles sister doesn't listen and goes a bit bridezilla. She wants all her sisters to wear the same thing for her wedding in a few weeks. I told her "I can wear something as similar as I can make it, but being pregnant I can't wear the same exact thing. It just won't work". Then she settled on a denim shirt dress. Cute, but wouldn't work on me normally, let alone pregnant (I'm pretty tall). She said she'd just femme a bigger size to fit over the tummy. I told her the ...
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
I read an article that said if you breastfed even just a short amount of time that it's 90% chance they will never get cancer their whole life and they compared breast milk to all the leading brands of diaper rash creams and breast milk will clear up the rash faster than any brand! I breastfed my daughter and she had scratched her nose and had a red mark from it I rubbed a lil breast milk on it and the scratch was completely healed and gone in less then 6hrs
