All Mamas PLEASE READ!!

DOCTORS DONT TAKE LACTATION COURSES. THEY DONT KNOW CRAP. Only listen to a lactation consultant. Do YOUR OWN RESEARCH. If you want to breastfeed get an LC and learn while youre pregnant how to breastfeed. Watch youtube videos. Dr. newman has a great website. LEARN HOW AND LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY. But when youre effing dr says “after baby is done nursing...top him up with a bottle of formula just to make sure.” I was told this and sooooo many of my friends were told this. AND ITS CRAP.

Youll never establish the supply your baby needs if they get full off of something that isnt YOU. Also if youre baby WAS DONE NURSING.....WHY DOES IT NEED SOMETHING ELSE IF IT WAS DONE NURSING?!

Drs are sooo quick to tell you something is wrong with your supply. It is a RARE THING to have something wrong with your supply. Its almost always something else. Be confident in your body. YOU are usually not the issue. So many moms stop nursing because theyre led to believe they have a low supply and feel defeated. Its so heartbreaking.

Just nod and smile at your dr when he speaks BS. I love my dr but i completely ignored everything he said about me breastfeeding. IGNORE YOUR DOCTOR WHAT?! Yes....cuz they DONT TAKE LACTATION COURSES. THEY NEVER BREASTFED. THEY ARENT LACTATION CONSULTANTS. THEY USUALLY CAN GET INCENTIVES FROM FORMULA COMPANIES.

Also breastfeeding doesnt always look like an every 2-4 hour session thing. Theres cluster feeding, frequency feeding, comfort feeding, sleep feeding, sick feeding, growing feeding, everything feeding!!! It can be draining

sometimes. For sure. And exhausting for sure. But its the most wonderful magical amazing thing and i cannot wait to nurse this next baby come May!

Start getting prepared and educated while youre pregnant. Become confident and become defiant. If YOU want to breastfeed. YOU CAN. AND you can overcome almost ANYTHING. Any issue that may arise! So there..just gotta say that right now.
