The lactation consoultant in the hospital was a huge help and they gave me nipple sheilds which I could not have breastfed without. I was only able to breastfeed for the first two weeks. Aubrie is not tolerating my milk nor regular formula. We have had to switch to soy formula for her. she is doing very well on it and I actually miss not breastfeeding her. She latched on with no problem once I used the sheild and with lanolin cream my nipples never cracked or hurt. It was an enjoyable experiance that I am sorry had to come to an end.

I have some that are like sports bras that unjust unstrap at the top, then after a while I realized I needed a little more support. So I highly suggest an lifting tighter nursing bra…they may be hard to find. Enjoy all that nursing time with Everly….its the best bonding experience!!!

I found this website last week by searching for some info about pelvic bone movement during pregnancy.
(I’m 13wks now and it’s already started)

My learning from breastfeeding my first baby (now she’s going to be 4 next week!) was, not to eat any cheese cakes (or anything similar: fatty food) whilst breastfeeding a child. I knew I should but I couldn’t resist a nice cheese cake and bang! I got mastitis (clogged milk duct). I thought I was going to die from it. Very painful! But my mother in law (who was an antinatal teacher) told me putting cabbage leaves on my breast (which became hard like a stone!) would take all the fever away and it really worked like a magic. But never again.

Anyway, enjoy every minute with your Everly! Lots of warm wishes from Scotland!

It hurt and my insurance didn’t allow for a lactation consult. Plus, I was barely 20 and it seemed so awkward. With my second, I nursed exclusively for 6 months. I had the support I needed, which was a HUGE help. It did hurt though for the first week or so. I got sore, scabbed nipples, but eventually I “toughened up” and it was smooth sailing. I love the little sighs and noises babies make when they’re all snuggled in and eating.
