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.
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.
The first couple weeks are a living hell. Trust it does get easier. Hang in there.
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 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.
I tried. My baby didn’t like it very much. But it seemed like it would’ve been great.
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.
