Breast feeding?

Question

Im 20 years old, and 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Im totally psyched:) about having my first as Im sure other young women like me are. My body already at only 10 weeks pg is changing. I have naturally slim body type, small breasts, thin waist, was a flat tummy, lol and I am definitely now beginning to show. Ive developed a little belly, and my boobs, I would imagine are beginning to prepare to develop milk. I have already gone up a cup size, from an 'A' to a 'B' cup. My nipples seems to be tingly, very sensitive, and pert. Obviously breast feeding comes to my mind. I know that I have months to think things over once I have my baby, but still.... Funny, Im obsessing about baby products, maternity clothes, bra's, undies, diapers, breast pumps, ect. Any advise, breast feeding, pumping, any preparation that might help for me to know before baby?

Answer

Breast feeding is seriously one of the best things you can do for your child. If you can produce milk and are completely healthy then that is definitely the best option. Specially if you do it the first week after the baby is born. That is the most important. Please try your best to breast feed.

Answer

Breastfeeding is one of the most important things you can do for your newborn! I had my DS two days after I turned 20. The best advice I can give you is this: If you truly want to only breastfeed your baby, do not let the nurses talk you into supplementing with formula. I had to have an emergency c-section (was going for all natural, no epidural - didn't happen that way). When he was born Wednesday evening he weighed 7lbs 6oz, on Friday night he weighed 6lbs 8oz and they told me I had to supplement because "he was losing too much weight". It was my first and no one told me that I could tell them no. My milk still had not fully come in so I thought I should believe them since they were nurses. I started giving my baby formula and still breastfed him.
