Giving breastfeeding another go after giving up and pumping for five days. I started to miss it.…

Thats good! I'm still using a nipple shield, I have inverted nipples and thats what helps me for a least a month or so. Using it brought them out last baby and hoping it does the same this time.

I did that with my second son and it was a great break plus I got the stash I needed. I nursed him for 11 months. It's just the first 4-6 weeks that are challenging after that it's easy and you'll be glad you don't have to fuss with bottles

Yay! Happy for you. Either way baby looks happy and healthy ? I'm still in discomfort from breastfeeding and have been feeling exhausted from it but as everyone says it's very worth it

Way to go, mama! These hormones have us all sorts of cray-cray.

We just went back to the shield too. I don't care what anyone says. It's a freaking life saver!

Good for you!!! My nipples look like mangled beef? nipple shields are a godsend

Thanks ladies! I just get nervous he isn't getting enough with the shield so for now I'm trying to pump after to make sure I'm drained. He still spends so much time on the boob! Like 30-45 minutes for one boob ?. I also tried nursing for a little bit without the shield and it's like he will latch pretty well with his lips flanged out but I wish I could get him to open his mouth wider and get more of my areola. Maybe he just has a small mouth.

Webb.alisha yikes ?. Mine isn't that bad but they are missing small chunks lol.

I find my little stays on long to be close to the breast. Comfort feeds. Tedious to say the least!! Try to only focus on wet/dirty diapers per day when breast feeding to know if they're getting "enough" milkies. It's so dang easy to second guess your body when you can't see what's going in. You're doing a great job!!! Seriously!!! Give yourself a pat on the back!

I'm breastfeeding and my milk is like fat free LOL, so my baby has to have formula after every nursing session almost. Even though he's not able to fill up on my milk I still love the bonding time, and that it gives my baby great comfort on the breast so that part makes me happy. Breastfeeding is super hard and time consuming and my 2 year old I think is feeling neglected a little.

^ previous poster have you tried adding an avocado a day to your diet and maybe coconut oil? That will help fatten up

Your milk in the best way
