Desperate
I don't know what to do!!! Baby is almost 4 days old. My boobs have been hard rock since yesterday. I have breast implants (don't know if it affects anything), I can't make baby latch correctly cause I can't grab my nipples and areola. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to give her enough milk. :'( in so desperate. She has enough wet diapers today 8 so far. So I guess yes she's getting colostrum?? I went to the shower and try to massage with hot water but milk is not coming out. My boobs get a little soft when she's breastfeeding. But after 1 hour they are hard again :( :( I need words, tell me what did you do and how's everything going to be... this new mom will appreciate all your support... I feel like a failure. I don't know how to burp baby properly either :( tomorrow I have her first pediatrician appointment and I hope they don't tell me she lost more weight. I'm so sad, desperate... please help me with words and your stories. God bless you all.

Try squeezing the milk out

Buy a hand pump and express. I would have then check for a lip or tongue tie just in case. It can take them a while to learn to latch. My second struggles for a month.
