it may take a little time for you to catch on to breastfeeding your new baby . Don't be discouraged many new moms go through an adjustment period as they learn to breastfeed and learn to know their baby needs

you are right

hello,
it has been heard from some people that when you bf baby, it necessary that your second breast should leak, than only your milk production is perfect.
is it true??

Drink around 20 glasses of water a day... eat protein rich food like dal, chicken, egg, fish... try massaging your breast with warm water before feeding.... stop formla... rembr mothers milk z best for your baby to fight any diseases coz mother milk provide immunity

I’m a doc myself.... even though I use 2 advice mothers abt xclusive breast feeding and der z nothing no milk ejectin... I was shocked wen I cudin feed my baby well for the 1st 4 days ... I was even afraid 2 hold diz tiny thing.... but then with the advice of excellent noenatologist and lactic always experts.... I was able to breast feed my baby.... and I was happy... since I had retracted nipples I had 2 use nipple shield for 5 months.... Trust me if u fail to breast feed sometimes it can lead to postpartum depression ...so find som way or other to tackle your breast feeding issues nd understand that only 10ml or so f milk gets ejected on d first few days.... only with sucking of baby it will increase

I just gave birth to my son (6days), I am having problem in breastfeeding. As I had c section, I could not breastfeed him immediately, I tried breastfeeding him on 3rd day but he just could not latch to my nipple. There is milk production but my son could not latch to my breast and now my breast had become hard. I am having problem in feeding my son. Any suggestions, advice is most welcome.

use breast pump and use spoon to give.. after 6days he suck
