Breast are not sore...breastfeeding problems?

Question

Hey ladies I have a 14 month old son and when he was born I desperately wanted to Breast feed him but between a tounge tie and an infection I was never able to secure a breastfeeding relationship (I saw several lactation consultants) one thing I struggled with was low milk supply.

I am now 7 weeks pregnant and have yet to experience sore breasts. I'm afraid this is a bad sign for my ability to produce enough milk for this baby too. (Sore breasts was my first pregnancy symptom with my son)

Anyone have excpreance with no Breast pain but good lactation from a previous pregnancy? Or low milk supply with first baby but improved milk supply with second?  I'm only seven weeks but I'm already really stressed out about my future breastfeeding situation.

Answer

I never had sore breasts with my first and had no problem breastfeeding, although I eventually stopped because my little one had terrible jaundice and they said the breastfeeding was the problem. Good luck to you hope all goes well!

Answer

Don't worry, my breasts are not sore this time at all. It was my first symptom in my first pregnancy too. And breastfeeding is dependent on the baby. It's a new relationship with a new person. At least you know to watch out for tongue and lip ties this time! You sound like a great mom, you will do what you need to do to keep your baby healthy and happy. Most of the time that means breastfeeding, but it doesn't always work out and in no way does that reflect on you. Best of luck!
