I’m having such a hard time breastfeeding I’m trying so hard not to give up. 😩
Are you on WIC at all? If so I know an awesome lactation specialist who helped me with my second child. She's actually in Austin. Let me know hun! ❤
Oatmeal, like 5 packs, momma's milk tea, lots and lots of water, feed, feed, feed. But you don't have to give up, supplement. I have to, and it's hard for me, cause I wanted to fully breastfeed her. But 8 extra oz of formula might do more then just help the baby gain weight on top of your breastmilk
Look to see if there is a lactation consultant in the hospital where you delivered that you can meet with.
Don’t feel alone girl. I had such a hard time too. It’s ok to not succeed. Comming from who lasted less than a week and ended up giving her formula because I was stressing I wasn’t doing it right. And she is healthy and only got a little bug one time and no ear infections so far. So I believe the first part of your milk she has drank and has gotten good antibodies
I’m going to start the process to divorce my husband. This is going to be hard.
Why is it so hard to make mom friends?? Like honestly I feel like I’m the only one that ever puts in any effort 🙄

@jamiladenise95 Keep in mind babys tummy is the size of a cherry right now. The most a newborn eats is 2 oz every 2-3 hours. You do not need to supplement. Please see my post I just made on breastdeeding hun ❤
