Breastfeeding?

Question

4th pregnancy. 1st time trying to breastfeed. No harsh comments or judging. Just looking for recommendations / advice 
Due June 14

Answer

Just go into it with the mentality that it will be hard and it will hurt, but it def gets better. It was rough for me the first 2 months, but smooth sailing after that. Bamboobies nursing pads, honest company nipple balm, and nipple shields will be your new best friends.

Answer

Just keep focused and remember it will get easier! The first few weeks are hard but once you get it it’s a breeze. 
My nephews mom bottle fed the first two and is breastfeeding her last and she regrets not doing it with her other two. 
Good luck mama

Answer

Ask to see a lactation consultant after you have baby in the hospital, most offer them. They will be able to give you lots of tips and show you how its done. I think that's what helped me the most. Also, by lanolin for your nipples. It will help immensely in the beginning weeks. And take your cue from baby, nurse on demand. It sounds daunting but that is what helps your body do what it needs to and its how baby learns. As long as they have enough wet diapers, they are getting enough milk, even if it seems like baby is constantly eating. I nursed my son every hour round the clock for his first week home before he got into more of a schedule. And stay hydrated! If baby is nursing, drink a glass of water with every session.
