I know I just post about this but my daughter is 2 weeks old and I’m
A 1st time breastfeeder I was bottle feeding her but I stopped and wanted to try breastfeeding but it’s on and off and my milk supply is slow and not coming in as much and I just need any tips because I want to continue to breastfeed her because I enjoy the experience between us
Just keep offering the baby boob, drink plenty of fluids and don't forget to eat well yourself. At this point I wouldn't do anything crazy but let nature take it's course.
Definitely make sure you eat! You have to stay nourishing your body to be able to nourish her properly. Try to eat as balanced of a meal that you can. Nutritional things. That’s where I went wrong. I was battling PPD so I didn’t have an appetite and my supply eventually just depleted. Definitely want to help anyone not to make the same mistake as I did.. Oh, And make sure to drink TONS of water! As much as you can, any time you think of it just drink lol. Best of wishes mommy 💕
I drink both water and Gatorade more Gatorade than water as far as eating any specific thing I shouldn’t eat
@angeliquemitchell.1992, Water will always nourish you better than anything else! And I’m not sure of anything specific not to eat, I’m guessing just the things that’s not considered the healthiest.
@angeliquemitchell.1992 be careful with Gatorade and any other drinks like that. They're good for replenishment but carry a bunch of sugars and sodium.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
I was going to do strictly breastfeeding but I'm going to actually do breastfeeding and pumping (bottle) because if not than she'll be hooked and will want my breast only and wouldn't work if she is left with her dad or something lol..
Anyone else doing both???
Thank you all for your help
