@caitlin.emmaline: Most of my patients tend to fall either in the camp of breastfeeding is super easy and very natural so I don’t have to worry or breastfeeding is very difficult and only a select few can do it so I’ll just try but I probably won’t be able- and I think it truly falls dead in the middle but unfortunately both of these groups tend to go into breastfeeding without the education they need and they’re trying to learn everything WHILE learning how to care for a newborn and heal and recover and it’s just too much. So if you can learn as MUCH as you can about breastfeeding PRIOR to delivery you’ll be off to a much better start and if you or your body decide it’s not for you that’s absolutely okay 🫶🏻 #MomsofTikTok #midwife #breastfeeding #pumpingmom #momoftwo

I am so jealous of your pump 😭 I want it so bad but its so expensive when youre on one income. On a side note, the biggest things I didnt know that WRECKED my first journey (on #3 now) was 1- having your baby checked for ties (they didnt catch it until she was 3 months and no one wanted to fix it at that point and my supply was pretty much gone) and 2- most people dont actually where the universal 24/28mm. I was consistently using a 24mm flange when with 2 and 3 I only needed a 17mm.

Do you have any experience with high lipase milk?! I defrosted a bag today to test since we haven’t used any and it was atrocious. I have probably close to 1000oz of frozen milk and I’m devastated 😭

I can’t speak for everyone but from my experience, if they say the baby has a tongue tie, get it revised immediately. They told me my first’s tt was minor and shouldn’t affect feeding, but f yes it did. And apparently it is still big enough that her orthodontist brought it up at age 10 🙄

Yess to all of this! Also, don’t let the birth weight drop scare you!! If you labor in a hospital with an iv, your baby can have an inflated birth weight due to all the hydration efforts and they will naturally lose that water weight over the next few days. I think a lot of moms get scared thinking their baby isn’t getting enough milk and choose to switch or supplement with formula (which there is NOTHING wrong with that), but it can tank your milk supply.

Not to mention how to know your baby is getting enough - weight gain and number of dirty and wet diapers. Most moms don’t realize that’s the indicator of supply, not how much your baby latches.

When I tried to breastfeeding my son, I could never get any help with understanding to the logistics. I kept asking how long (initially) do you go for each breast, or do you do one breast per feed, or 15 min each side (more? Less) and I could never find anyone who just talked about that simple stuff. But I got so stuck on that part

my twins are 2 months old and they are barely starting to latch now. I dont make enough for both when pumping. I know the pump doesn't get it all so I supplement with formula. I want to not use formula and be able to breast feed and not just pump but the twins specifically my son wont latch long enough to get full and he gets frustrated with how slow it comes out while my daughter gets frustrated but shell keep trying. any suggestions on how long to keep them on before giving up and giving them a bottle ?I feel so bad when they get frustrated so I barely leave them on unless she gets a good latch and keeps chugging until she falls asleep

A lot of health departments offer lactation consultants through their WIC program and that’s a free service they offer

I gave up cause the lactation consultant only taught me one latching position saying any other one wouldn't work, and left me with bruises.
