So I haven’t been able to breastfeed cause she won’t latch on, so I’ve done formula and pumping lately, I’ve been slacking on pumping not doing it every three hours like I’m supposed to but my boobs are starting to become hot and swollen so I pumped and got this, milk or colostrum ?!

So that’s colostrum not milk?

@brose0205, that’s how your milk is right now. It will start changing along with your baby’s needs. That colostrum has everything she needs right now for her immune system to be strong 💕✅

You can tell by the color its mostly colustrum. Mature milk is white. If you want to keep having breast milk for her see a lactation consultant to fix the latch or you HAVE to stay on top the pumping.

@brose0205 Is the lc going to try to keep working on it?

@mhbb3, no she said I could keep trying or pump. She said it might take a little more time since she was born at 37 weeks

@brose0205 You guys will get it and it'll be like second nature. 💕

I agree. Colostrum. Keep it up mama. I know it's a job. I exclusively pumped my son cause he had a problem latching and I didn't have the patience to stick with breast feeding. So, I know the feeling.
