Day 3 post partum and I’m already panicked about breast feeding and nipple confusion. I have a lazy boob/nipple and no milk yet and the colostrum isn’t exactly coming in quick enough.

yesterday the hospital lactation consultant suggest triple feeding. So I’ve been trying to do that. But I don’t think my husband fully understands that I’m really not supposed to feed the baby the bottle. And this morning I’m trying to feed her. She gets mad because I’m not producing anything, and I ask my husband to come get her. He gives me the bottle though. And me trying to not be the hormonal and sleep deprived person I am right now because we are both new at this just says sure I’ll feed her. When I really should be pumping.

So this is our last day in the hospital. Hopefully the lactation consultant will help me out until I can get to the pediatrician’s lactation consultant Monday. But what all are some ways to really help my breasts out so she can figure out how to nurse from me? I feel like I’m too flabby and my boobs are to floppy to really see what I am doing. I’m frustrated and feel like a failure already.
