Breastfeeding

This is how I spend a majority of my days!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ breastfeeding has been a struggle for me. I wasn’t expecting it at all! It’s extremely painful but has been beyond rewarding. My little man did not loose weight the first week he actually gain 1 pound!! He is 3 weeks old tomorrow and has gained 3 pounds!!! I have an over supply milk and actually have to pump some out just to be able to feed him sometimes. The first week it hurt so bad I nearly cried everytime he would nurse. It still hurts but is bearable. I’m so glad I didn’t give up. He loves to eat and cluster feed and sometimes he wants to eat all day. It’s so nice just to be able to feed and go right back to sleep at night. If you are new to breastfeeding and it hurts don’t give up!! Get some good nipple cream, pads, heating pads, ice, pump, and suck it up and deal with the pain for the first couple of weeks. It’s so worth it!!!!! I love my little man..
