Breastfeeding mommas. Please tell me it gets easier 🤷🏽♀️🤞🏽. I have been having troubles with breastfeeding lately and it has been taking a toll on me emotionally and physically. I don’t want it to be this because I love the bond that it brings but i wish it was much easier like in the beginning.
It gets easier but look at this deep latch old school YouTube video it helped me with my 3rd breastfeeding baby bc she just wouldnt latxh right and it killed me.
Thank you hun. I definitely enjoyed the video and I really hope it helps me. I want this to easy and second nature. Not a stressful job.
thank you ! I will definitely keep that in mind. I just want it to go smooth.
I tried. My baby didn’t like it very much. But it seemed like it would’ve been great.
The first weeks are awful but it definitely gets easier and becomes second nature. Before you know it you will be whipping out a boob in the middle of eating/combing your hair/or helping your other son find a show to watch 💜
This made me smile. I can’t wait for it to become my second nature. It has been so hard on me and how do you know if something you eat is bothering the baby ?
for me I noticed my son would get really gassy and wouldn't poop. That was if I ate cheese. He'd just cry because he was so uncomfortable.
I will start making a journal with everything I eat so I will know what’s affecting him.
It gets easier if they ever latch on correct but if u have a baby that can’t latch it’s harder but u can always try the nipple shields ... and the easiest way to breastfeed is the football position well for me it was
@luv_2b_amomma, yes I used the football position probably the first month after that I started laying in my side and letting her feed on her side and also I would jst hold her across me on the boppy
@divine.mommy, I definitely wish I could master the side laying position. Maybe when my son gets bigger.
The first couple weeks are a living hell. Trust it does get easier. Hang in there.
What struggles are you having? It gets to a point where you literally whip your boob out to a crying baby without thinking about it, I swear.
My newborn has been squirming and arching and crying lately while feeding and I don’t know why. I assumed it could be reflux or something I am eating. I have changed a lot of my diet but I am a vegan and it’s not much that I can change. I stop and burp him when he does that and it works for a minute and then it starts up again. I also have the problem with not knowing if the baby has a good balance between foremilk and hindmilk. It’s been very stressful. Hahaha I am hoping to get to that point and not be stressing myself out.
Breastfeeding information and tips This is a post I've made to help women who are thinking of breastfeeding, or are breastfeeding and may have some questions about breastfeeding. It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.
I am so upset! Went for my 33 week checkup and they told me I have 2 stds! I have not been with anyone other than my sons dad and he says he has been faithful to me I have been crying all morning!
Having problem with breastfeeding He fights me!!! What can I do to make it easier?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related!
