Keep with it...it gets better. This is my first time breastfeeding too and if you can hold on for another week it gets sooo much easier!!! Good luck!!
Same here! Had my princess on the 10th breastfeeding was a mission but on yhe 3rd 4th day it gets better. But it is sooo sore:(! But im loving every moment of it! Hang in there mommy!
The contraction u get with breast feeds are a good sign that your uterus is shrinking !
It gets easier and better once your milk comes in. Yes the contractions suck but they don't last long! You doing a great job
Thank you all so much for the input deffenitely trying since breastmilk is the best. And hope i can keep going :)
The first week or two is always a bit hard, I read every book going etc and thought I was prepared so I understand that deflated feeling. After some friendly encouragement and a bit more experience things got easier. You're doing great, keep it up! If you get a little sore someone with breastfeeding coaching experience for help and advice. Before you know it you'll be making dinner and feeding baby at the same time haha. Good luck and I hope you heal nicely.
It does get easier. Keep at it :)
My boy had trouble latching on so I'm expressing my milk.. I like it because I can monitor how much milk he's actually getting, and he's got a good appetite
Its so hard brestfeed so I'm doing both ....its it normal not to have milk in the 4 fist days?,,,
Today is wayyy better ive asked the nurses plenty of questions. It is normal some women take little longer than others to get milk but in the meantime baby is getting colostrum not sure how to spell that.
Keep up the good work. It is hard at first, but it does get easier. Congratulations
Deff worth the wait !! My milk is finally coming out and more as it goes!!! Now my boobies were sore but i put some lotion and the gel pads and feel great again!!!
