My youngest is 4 days old, I am breast feeding and one of my nipples is cracked and was bleeding a little this evening...normal in the beginning? I dont remember this with my first but breast feeding didn't go well with my first.
I have decided I'm not going to breast feed with my first😩 hopefully I change my mind
I'm not planning to breast feed but would you ladies recommend breast feeding for the first time or straight onto bottles? Everyone keeps telling me different and I need advice! 😓
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
opinions about breast feeding while pregnant. the receptionist at my OB told me while making my appointment to start getting her off of the boob, because breast feeding causes your uterus to contract and can cause a miscarriage or preterm labor. any ladies breast feed your LO while pregnant and should I believe the receptionist?? my baby just turned 3 months on the 23rd .I give her breast and formula sometimes. any advice is appreciated👍
Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?

If you can't handle the pain try a nipple shield or look into them. Super helpful but some nipple confusion risks so make sure you understand them.

If you don't already have Jack Newman's compound cream, get a prescription from your doctor. It is life changing. The pain will go away around 3-4 weeks once you're used to it more.

Def normal.. once they adapt and little latches like a pro .. it all goes away

Yup totally normal! Your nipples will get use to the suction after a while, it helps to use some nipple cream and wear soft nursing bras! 😊

Thank you. I was only using cream when they were a little sore...clearly my bad! Lol and I have been only wearing nursing tank tops with me bra at all, I just find it so much easier.

if you have the dr. Jack Newman nipple cream it really helps with the soreness and it’s an all purpose cream btw! And yea they say to use it after each breastfeeding session so try that and see if it makes a difference for you! 😊
