First milk!

Paige

I had my baby three days ago and my milk just came in!! I’m so excited!! I pumped for a few minutes and got almost two ounces right away! My baby latched really well in the hospital and was feeding well but the past two nights being at home have been really hard feeding him. I couldn’t get him to latch on his own and he would fall asleep too easily when I tried to feed him. We took him to the pediatrician this morning and she helped with me feeding techniques and had us give him some formula to supplement because he was a little dehydrated. Today, he fed so much better and the fact that I can pump and bottle feed now makes me feel a million times better knowing that my baby won’t go hungry.
