In need of breastfeeding advice/encouragement. Babe is currently 3 days old, but he doesn’t feed every 2-3 hours like they say you’re “supposed”. It makes me feel bad, and I will try to feed him but I seem to only make him mad and we’re battling a shallow latch with him) He’s pooping and peeing great. His poo has already transitioned to a brown color. Part of me feels like I shouldn’t worry about the frequency of his feelings, but that he’s getting enough each feed. Am I doing something wrong?

Ok, first, GOOD JOB RECOGNIZING HIS FEEDING CUES ❤️ don’t let the mom guilt set in. Breastfeeding is a LEARNED experience. It takes practice for both mom and baby but the good thing is it does happen and you will get it 😊

If you’re still in the hospital, request a LC and have him/her come in to work with you on the latch. If the boppy isn’t working for you, remove it and find a position that’s comfortable for you and baby.

Baby tummy is the size of a walnut right now meaning so he doesn’t need much but what the colostrum is providing. Babies are born with a lot of nutrients to make up for the first week of mom getting latching together so don’t worry that baby will starve.

Let him feed as long as whenever he wants. Unswaddle him and let him just lay on your chest(skin to skin). The rooting reflex will help him find the boob and you can gently guide him.

The cradle hold works the best for me. Make sure you are guiding your nipple in his mouth the right way using either the “C” hold or “U” hold. I can send you examples if you like?

Don’t let baby sleep pass 3hrs 😊 message me for any questions if you want and definitely keep seeing a LC until you leave the hospital and even after that

The doctors are wrong when they tell you to feed only every 3hrs. Baby needs to feed on demand but definitely wake baby if baby is sleeping past 2-3hrs to feed especially if you’ve had an epidural, any drugs or difficult birth.

Did your milk come in yet? How often is he feeding? How long? If baby latch is off, try feeding in the football hold. Feel free to message me!

No my milk hasn’t come in yet. I had an epidural, but everything was fine. My nurses said I was producing a lot of colostrum for a first time mom. Some feedings he’ll latch in a few tries and feed for a good 45 minutes.. but earlier he was laying across my chest with the boppy and I noticed he was nuzzling into my chest, so I whipped it out and he shallow latched and I pulled him off to reattempt but he just got mad and rooted around while my boob was literally in his mouth waiting for him to clamp down. Then he so tired from that that he passes out for another couple hours. The next time he wakes up its been 5-6 hours since his last good feed. The mom guilt it real right now. I have tried football hold and the regular one.

I had to undress mine and do skin to skin. At the checkup he lost almost a pound. So I had to wake him up to feed. I was doing 2 hours during the day, and 3 at night.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday…

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?

How Can I Cope with My Boyfriend's Betrayal and Lies?

This girl sent me videos on snapchat of her and my boyfriend having sex and he’s lying to everyone trying to make me seem crazy but I see his entire face in the video. The girl is saying she is pregnant by him and he’s lying saying “it’s someone that looks like me it’s not me in the video” I’m just so tired of him taking me for a joke. I have to go through this and our son is due January 1st he’s yelling at me for crying honestly I don’t even want him in the room when I have my son I can’t even look at him and he’s acting like the victim when he got caught. I left my moms house to go live with him in his moms basement where I am barely welcomed. With all this going on I can’t even be excited for my sons arrival I never imagined my pregnancy to be like this and I went through his phone and his friend called me fat and he did nothing but laugh. I’m just tired of feeling like I’m no one, like I’m not important, no one should treat their kids mother like this.

my sons dad texted me today and said “I need a test to make sure he’s my kid since you won’t let me see him” and I told…

my sons dad texted me today and said “I need a test to make sure he’s my kid since you won’t let me see him” and I told him okay but this really pisses me off because he’s making it seem like I’m not letting him see the baby because I’m not sure he’s the dad and because I’m still “mad” about him cheating. When in reality my doctor said he doesn’t need to leave the house unless necessary for the first 6 weeks and I don’t feel it’s necessary just so the baby can go meet his family? My mom has opened our home to them to come visit with the baby despite everything that happened with his mom not giving me the gifts she bought my son and them making me feel unwanted at their home. So like I don’t understand where this is even coming from?? I also set it up for the paternity test to happen next week with a time and date and after I told him the price he says “well nah it’s okay I was just kidding” like nope. I’ll just go ahead and pay it because I’m not dealing with this later on, months from now when he’s mad about something and he uses the whole “he’s not mine” to get back at me. He doesn’t realize how that makes me look like why did you even sign the birth certificate if you felt this way? I’m just over all of this tbh... one minute he’s sending me text wanting to make things right and be a family next minute he’s on social media saying he’s tryna get his “dick wet” I would never keep my son from his dad because of my own personal reasons but I just don’t want him around me at all. It’s getting to a point where I don’t even wanna see his face. I’m really starting to hate him
