breastfeeding tips
Im a ftm 34 and im supposed to be induced in 3 weeks so im just looking for any advice or what to expect when breastfeeding:)
I thought once u get the hang of latching baby on its soo much easier and the bond with baby is amazing! just take each day as it comes dont give up hope. It wasnt painful breastfeeding I didnt think , wow 3 weeks not to long now bet u excited :-)
Ooo and skin to skin contact with baby helps soothe and comfort baby while feeding! I found this helps when I had problems with latching on baby. I would say its easier to breastfeed then breastpump cuz breastpump u still have to get up at night to warm bottles but breastfeeding it seems to be easier to get to sleep and ur milk already warm so no night journeys :-)
Thanks ladies! I am excited but scared at the same time!
What does skin to skin mean? Baby naked? Lol

Skin to skin is basically baby stripped down to nappy and you strip off on top half and breastfeed lol no I would keep nappy on wouldnt wanna be covered in toilet messes haha
Skin to skin is. You topless n baby naked. my chubbs loved it so did i awkward at first but u get use to it n the bonding is beautiful. He latched on with no problems n fed for 15min on each side right after he was born n i have so much milk its crazy. i drove myself crazy thinking it was going to be hard n baby wouldn't latch but it wasn't hard at all. Make sure u rotate breast cuz if u dnt one will have more milk then the other n you will look crazy. my sis made this mistake so now 4months later 1boob is an a cup n the other a c lol. but each day gets easier n u loose weight so much faster. n night feeding so alot easier especially if co sleeping. But i will say i dnt like the way my nipps look anymore i dnt like taking my shirt off during sex n im always leaking sry if tmi but i think il get use to it its only been a month
I hope my boobs get big :D lol im only an a cup so hopefully when my milk comes in they grow hahah
