I'm nervous that breastfeeding is going to be hard to figure out

Ask for a lactation consultant when you’re in the hospital. They will help you! I loved nursing.

It came very easy for me and my first. I did seek a lactation consultant as soon as he was born so I didn’t have to worry or wait until it got bad. Be proactive! 😍👍🏻

In my opinion medela is the best brand

@jade2017 I got a Medela thru insurance, not sure if that's the same one.

@princessm928 yep thats a good idea. If you dont already have a pump id recommend the medela in style advanced thats the one i have and I love it

@jade2017 ok, that's good to know. I was thinking around 6 weeks I may start pumping to prepare for going back to work 😥

And I have a little frozen too

@princessm928 i pump only for when i have to go somewhere wothout him. Its easier to just breastfeed

@jade2017 did you only breastfeed or attempt to pump too?

All depends on the baby though mine ate avout every 3 hrs in the beginning

@jade2017 lovely lol

@jskidsmom thx, just joined, I have a few more weeks but never too soon right lol

@princessm928 yes very true lol

@jade2017 thx, is it true a newborn will feed approx every 2 hours?

Its really not that hard especially if your baby latches correctly. You learn to read your baby he / she will tell you everything through how they act. Its nice because your like a bottle 24/7 lol
