breast feeding worries

[mommie_3]

So up until now I haven't had any concerns or worries about breast feeding. Irs actually been going very well!!! He was eating about 40 minutes every 3 hrs. I could tell when it was getting to be time for him to eat becuz my boobs would feel so full. Now... not so much. And now he eating about 30 min every 3 hrs. He seems to staying full foe the full 3 hrs but I guess im just worried cuz my boobs aren't hurting like they were and they don't get as hard. Is Thia normal?

My mom already told me I'm not taking her overnight til she can talk, haha!! I wouldn't feel comfortable either, and she'll get over it!

With my daughter I was the same way. With my first son I lived there a few months after I had him... but I've already told her she not getting him and my husband agrees!!!! And my mil would becuz she is that type.. over bearing, control freak type person. And omg when things don't go her way... its WWIII. Sad I know but that's how childish she is.

Not at all, and who suggests taking a newborn that quickly anyway?! I didn't let anyone take my son overnight til he was well over a year old, and that was only because I was going on a date night with my husband, haha! Giving him a bottle can really confuse him in the beginning, at least the first 3-4 weeks should be strictly nipple.

Ok just making sure :) thanks ladies. I didn't make enough with my other two so I couldn't bf. But im def much happier and o enjoy this experience much more than just feeding with a bottle. My mil already making comments about keeping my baby over night.. I was like Nope. He breast fed. She was like well u can pump.. I said Nope!! I don't want him having a bottle. Is that selfish??

It sounds like you're just doing it right, so you're adjusting better. I would get soo engorged and pump and pump and pump so it would feel better, that my pain lasted SO long.

Its only been a week tho!! And I already have big boobs lol DD so I don't need anymore help lol I just wanted to know its misleading for the pain to go away and the rock hard feeling but still making enough for my baby.

Yes it is. They will become full looking, but soft still. No fake boobie look! LOL.

It's very normal for your boobs to adjust after a period of time. The first few weeks are the worst, then you should adjust some. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, I wouldn't worry about it!
