Helpful hints/tips/insight for FTM's ?? I thought as STM's (second time mom's of one or more) that we could share things that we learned later that would have been helpful to know beforehand either during labor, during stay at hospital, first few days of baby, bringing baby home etc...
Breastfeeding information and tips This is a post I've made to help women who are thinking of breastfeeding, or are breastfeeding and may have some questions about breastfeeding. It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.

My mom use to do this to me and brother ...when baby is gassy or stomache rub warm almond oil on the belly just rub it clock wise it will calm it and soothe ..it works wonder I did it with my two daughters .

Buy incontinence pads from amazon to use as changing mats. If baby pees it'll be soaked in where it falls rather than running up their back. It's saved me so many outfit changes! I also use on in his bed to catch spit up. No more need to change bedding at 3am.

I've noticed a hard tummy and when my baby doesn't want to bend when I try to sit her on my leg it's a true sign of gas. I usually can get a big burp out of her then I try sitting her on my leg again and leaning her forward and patting her back and usually get burps and sometimes toots! Also massaging her left side helps when gas is stuck.

Instead of bycicle. Softly make babys right knee moves towards left elbow ,and viceversa..will be a fun symphony of farts. ...happy baby

I stood next to dryer with my daughter to settle her and put her to sleep. Let's just say lights out for her

Baird- I tried the cheek to cheek thing last night and it totally worked!!! Amazing
SoundSleeper app for vacuum and womb noises. Currently using womb noises but my daughter needed the super loud vacuum sound to sleep.

My nicu nurse told me that this has worked on babies she's had that were inconsolable after baby was fed, warm, clean diaper. This doc developed this shake thing where you hold the baby at an angle and kinda shake their butt a little. It's hard to explain lol.

Also for gas pains try doing bicycle kicks for them to help them get it out.

I was skeptical of this trick, but it actually works like a charm : YouTube "vacuum sounds" and you can find videos with the sound of a vacuum on a continuous loop. My baby falls asleep within 5 minutes of me playing it.

@Baird: ? I'm seriously going to have to try that one. It seems like Matt always wakes up when I try to sneak him into the rock n play.

This is a stupid little one but for babies who wake up every time you put them down .. I put my cheek on hers as I'm laying her down to trick her lol so if she's laying on my chest she doesn't wake up with the position change

You can also use the burnt flower for diaper rash ... some babies will break out with the cream and baby girls can't use the talcum baby powders so use the Burt flower it worked like a charm for my son who broke out worse with the creams.
