How To Best Prepare For Breastfeeding After A Failure?
Thursday, October 21st, 2010For my first, breastfeeding was a total failure. I stopped after 2 days and I made a mini depression. At first, I could not properly place my daughter (who was not more highly motivated), and after 2 days I was pissing blood from the nipples (I'm not exaggerating)., I pain that had started from the elbow and went back to the nipple. In short, horror, and I stopped. No midwife was able to really help me and they were all happy that I quit. At the beginning of my second pregnancy, I was sure of not wanting to breastfeed. Baby 2 is bottle fed. Except that now, more pregnancy progresses and the more I want to retry breastfeeding. My man does not want because it is too reminiscent of the ordeal it was for me. And I'm really scared to again face a failure, do not do it again. So how to best prepare myself for this successful breastfeeding that I want more?
I advise you to read a lot about the subject, whether books, websites … And be surrounded! Ideally, midwives in the maternity t'aident because I grant you, the first day we do not really know how to plug in baby (!) And if the position is not good, c ' is the cat, cracks, nipples blood … Suddenly, the urge is gone and we keep a bad memory. Maybe your home loan there is an association of breastfeeding mothers who could not help you, whether you prepare for before or after birth show you how, you say what will and will not … Course the site of La Leche League: http://www.lllfrance.org/ (incidentally if you have postpartum problems you can contact a moderator). Above all blinds you, you'll hear comments, "you should give him the bottle it will be simpler" and other "your milk does not eat enough" Know that … Breastfeeding is not the other, you can miss with your first baby and pass the second and vice versa!
hello, thank you for that question because I ask myself the same question! I breastfed my son three weeks but in the end I had to stop overnight I could not go he cried every hour. I dreaded every time I put him in because I was in pain all the time of the head and when I saw how he had rushed on the first bib AC calmed me down and I said go live c stop over! I lived through that period very badly and I do not want to replicate the same thing. I would like to breastfeed but I think I do not so obstinate! however I have been relatively well even has helped qd motherhood and when I got home there was the lady uen pmi who came every two days to weigh! know that c and c is a free service that motherhood was loaded it informs you! I think also appeal to the leach league! good and if not how is baby? echo last Monday everything is ok! It weighs about 600 g … What beautiful beast! lol
Welcome to the club … Try to find a nursing association in your neighborhood to meet with nursing mothers or professionals (midwives, facilitators) … that will be especially good advice available when it goes wrong … There's nothing like having someone who shows you how true do you give advice tailored to you and your little piece … Otherwise, you max information on the topic, read. .. but it's not worth the real contact with real people …
