WOULD LIKE LADIES OPINION PLEASE!!

[momtobe052014]

Well I'm wanting to breast feed and bottle feed my princess so that me and her daddy could both have our bonding time with her...one on one!!!! Then people keep saying that it hurts really bad and now its making me just want to bottle feed so now i don't know any more bc i really wanted one on one time with her also!!!!

There more than likely will be some pain. I had alot of pain cracked sore bleeding nipples and mastitis 3xs but Im still SO glad I stuck it out for a yr. And at least for me pregnancy isnt a picnic id rather have my boobs hurt for a while than the pain while sitting walking standing but if thats what I gotta put up with for my kiddos then so be it. Just remember its a learning process for u & baby and it does get better and if u pump only ur supply could suffer. Good luck momma

It will be tender at first but once you get the hang on it, it's cake. It's healthier for you and for baby.

Im sure any baby dept, has sections for breastfeeding moms, i going to try any of them to find the right one, i do remember stopping cause they got chapped so now that im having this one alot older and im smarter im going to try to breastfeed as long as i can!

Walmart and Target are the best place to look for the cream.

I would try it before you decide to strickly do the bottle. It only hurts if the baby doesnt latch properly. Yes it feels odd at first and sometimes complicating if the baby isn't able to latch properly. I wasnt able to nurse with my first but did quite well with my second. The nursing staff will assist you in every way at the hospital and I suggest getting nipple cream and packing it in your hospital bag. It'll help if your nipples become uncomfortable

I will suggest that u try it for urself. To me it is uncomfortable, but again u should try. If u try then u will know for sure if u are able to deal wit the comfort level. I am going to try again thias time. I ttied before and just was so uneasy about it but I am older now I feel differently about breast feeding all together. Good luck!

Thanks ladies I think I'm doing both and marylee06 were can you get the stuff for your nipples

[marylee06]

I am going to breastfeed once my baby is born, i did with my others and i do remember the pain.. but i also missed the closness with my babies once i switched to bottle, im going to try it again, and deal with the pain!
Maybe try the lube stuff for my nipples this time around moisture is important! Good luck.to both of us!

It doesn't hurt really bad. At first it's a little weird but you get use to it. Don't let anyone turn you off about it. It's the best thing to do for you and baby, I think what your suggesting is a fantastic idea!! See that dad doesn't wear a shirt to assist with the bonding moment.. :) enjoy!!

Just try it, everyone is different,  and if it doesn't work for you, you can stop:)
