So I’m breastfeeding my son I never breastfed my daughter so I’m very new to this and well I been pumping mostly because I want to make sure he’s getting what he needs and I see it better that way whereas when he’s on my breast I’m not sure if he’s getting enough or if he’s even getting it at all. And I just feed him the bottle and he wants my breast each time afterwards even if he’s been on there a long time. Idk 😐
make sure you eat enough iron rich foods and speak to your pediatrician if he is not gaining enough weight see if he needs to go on iron rich rice cereal with breast milk some babies need food earlier then others
Breastfeeding offers baby the chance to feed, receive comfort and regulate breathing and temperature.
The thing with pumping is that a baby will always be able to get more milk from a breast than a pump. So the amount of milk you get from pumping isn’t the total volume of what your breast can produce.
Having cuddles and skin to skin while baby feeds and comfort suckles will help boost your supply.
Enjoy your snuggles😊
They have a need to comfort suck and it also helps your supply.

Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet
is it wrong of me to be upset my bf works a lot? he works 6 days a week, nights. & on his day off he sleeps all day. i never see him, spend time with him, i’m not intimate with him, nothing. i only get help from him when he’s awake bc he wants to be left alone to sleep which is understandable. he gets mad i complain that he works too much. & i was talking to a girl at my job about it and she said i shouldn’t be mad bc he’s making money & told me who wouldn’t want their man making money? & it’s n...

My SO has been rude a lot ever since I've gotten pregnant...he said he doesn't care about my pregnancy, he doesn't even take one day off from work just ONE to come to at least one ultra sound appointment. I mean he's always making sure I'm fed, he lets use the heating pad, and even apologized to saying he doesn't care. He can mess with me all day but when I want to join and play around he gives me an attitude. He just makes me feel like s*** at times. He's a great fiancé don't get me wro...
My significant other hasn’t been to one appt. am I crazy for being bothered about it? I’m already depressed I’m having another baby. I didn’t even want anymore. I feel like I don’t have the support I need.
I need to chat with someone about my partners perving on other girls and talking about random women who we see in public I can’t deal with it aswell as him searching one specific female work colleague on Facebook I’m getting really irritated by his behaviour I’m finding it ridiculously pathetic to the point I’m not wanting to speak to him. He’s literally staring and head turning and then talks to me about them even on the school run one of my sons friends mums he pervs on every day he’s even sta...
You will know if baby isn’t getting what he needs 😊
Feed on demand and drop the pumping if you want to. If not and you want to exclusively pump, make sure you have a breast pump that simulates 40-60 sucks so you can maintain supply.
The clearest indication of baby getting enough is diaper output, happy and healthy with weight gain. Trust your body 😊 we are made for this.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions and you should look into joining a local la Leche league or talking to a BF counselor to help.
