[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a nipple shield before baby comes. When you need one you really need one NOW. [/quote]
Yes!!! I didn’t know to get one and thankfully someone had tossed one in a box of having down baby supplies. We washed it and I cried from relief. I didn’t make everything better those first few days but it sure took the pain down and helped both with latch and nipple healing. I ended up buying them for every room of the house lol. (they are small and easy to lose)[/quote]

Depends on the baby! None of mine would allow that nipple shield in their mouths. They cried from frustration even though I clearly had milk.

But yes, watch youtube videos beforehand so you know what should be happening. Know about latches. I had planned on formula feeding but my babies absolutely wouldn't take a bottle. Never, not once. So with my first I struggled through the first week of pain and not knowing what to do, as I didn't really have a choice. Lots of lactation appts and I figured it out. My babies luckily were good nursers and when they felt my supply dropping they worked extra hard. I credit them with my ability to breastfeed. Ended up being the most enjoyable part of motherhood for me and I nursed each for 18+ months. [/quote]
