Breastfeeding finally going well!

Amina 🇨🇦

We are now at 10 weeks and breast feeding is almost completely pain free!! It had been quite a rough ride. Below is the list of challenges I faced and how we over came them in order of when they were noticed. You can overcome these obstacles too!! I believe in you!

1. Flat nipples - used a nipple shield

2. Bleeding nipples - changed nipple shield size and the way I was using it

3. Mastitis- antibiotics

4. Vasospasms - calcium, magnesium and B6 supplements

5. Clogged ducts - haakaa in the shower often

6. Thrush - anti fungals for me and the babe

7. Weaning from nipple shield - tried once a day every day mid feed, one day he just got it (football position)

8. Tongue and lip tie - had it lazered

Thanks for your support! I love reading everyone's posts. Let me know if you have questions!
