Feeling a little discouraged my plan to just strictly BF for the 1st 2/3 weeks won't work....I'm tired from lack of sleep, I think my latch is wrong (9/10 feeds is painful, pinching instead of pulling), and just trying to get a routine down with both kids is frustrating. When 1 is sleep the other is up and I can't rest. When Jace is awake it would be nice if someone else could feed him but I feel it's too early for me tbh to give him a bottle when our BF isn't fully established.

@athomas, no i have plenty of milk, a lot actually but it's just the way he latches hurts every single time. Once I get the latch right BF will be less of a pain in the butt
@dreamermom, oh wow okay, I've never seen one of those before. Thank you!
@datnavajogirl, but yeah his suck is GREAT! He latched quick and his mouth is small so it makes it hard to take the time to get it in there slowly
@datnavajogirl, only for a short period of time, she was given a bottle in the hospital and ever since that she had problems latching. She was confused as to why she had to work harder to get it out the boob and didn't want to latch. She would get frustrated and not latch so I gave up, plus my boobs became so engorged when I was pumping that I didn't wanna BF anymore
Did u bf ur 1st? I had lots of pain this time 2 but i knew she had a good latch i just toughed it out felt like crying hurt so bad. It is tough with 3 everytime i feed the other 2 always ask for something or know its time to act up cuz i cant get up 😥
@kimny, yeah it's kinda chaotic rn with BF and our day routine but yes we will!
@athomas, yes it really is, it's like I want sleep but I'm not ready to give him a bottle and potentially mess things up. Every baby is different and he may not want the breast again afterwards. But he's a great feeder when he does
Im still trying to learn with my little one as well. It gets rough. @brianna_
@kimny, but thank you!! 💓💓 and happy Mother's Day to you too
@kimny, well I know my latch is wrong because it's hurting but I have plenty of milk thank goodness
Have you tried using a nipple shield! It was a God send for helping my daughter to latch early
@datnavajogirl, how did you balance feedings, sleep and time with each. I feel like the time I could spend with my daughter I spend it all feeding Jace..and since I'm not giving him a bottle yet I'm the only one feeding him
Don't be discouraged breast feeding is hard. You have to take care of yourself in order to take care of baby. I had to supplement my son for the first few weeks in the beginning bc I was having latching issues and production issues but I kept pumping and still breastfed as much as I could and eventually was able to strictly breastfeed till he started solids. Don't give up you're doing great and will get through this rough patch. Happy mother's day
I know how u feel my daughter is 1 to and baby is 2months in the beginning it was hard dont give up
@brianna_ i would try that shield like dreamer suggested
