I ended up pumping breast milk into bottles for 1st daughter instead. I did have ehr latch on the night she was born but it ticked off the nurse that she was holding my hair, she said your hairs in the way put your hair up, she let go and I gave up breastfeeding. With son he actually breast fed from the inverted nipple! With 3rd baby I bottle fed her and I put my breast into her mouth when she demanded to eat and she latched and suckled.
Not a terrible video. Some good tips on positioning, however, scheduled feeding is generally not good advice for a new mother. Instead, try breastfeeding as often as baby needs. This way baby has more chance to thrive based on his/her individual needs. I also recommend contacting La Leche League International LLLi . org if you have concerns or need other advice.
minutes, minutes minutes… I Was so stressed because all of those numbers nurses would give me the first days. After my first check up I knew my baby was eating enough. His weight told us he was perfect and I only fed him 5/10min (MAX) on only 1 breast per feeding, and after 4h I would do the other breast. Do what your feeling tells you to do. Eliminate stress and drink a lot Now he’s 4months and 17lbs, on breastmilk only
