any advice helps!!!

I'm due in 12 days I'm trying to get things going now what are some tips to get labor started? Also I'm having troubles with deciding to breastfeed...I know it's best for baby but I felt so overwhelmed with my first son. Would it be weird to just breastfeed until we are discharged from the hospital? TIA

I breastfeed all my five kids, but my milk always dried up after 2-3 months. I found a Nursing Momma Cookie recipe that has helped me successfully breastfeed for 15 months now with our fifth child. I have such a closer bond with her.

Power walk! And I'm breast feeding at first it's very time consuming but once you get the hang over it you will get on a schedule my son is three weeks old now and I'm so happy I decided to breast feed but I had made that choice as soon as I found out! I wanted to at least try and I'm so thankful I did! But trust me it's hard!

I'm due in 12 days too. Can't wait. I'm planning to breastfeeding feed it's a pain in butt and painful but we have already. Give up 9 months for our little ones why not a few more months and the bonding is the best. I'm only doing it for the time I'm going to be on maternity leave 12 weeks. If possibly I would do it longer. Either way is your choice. But their is nothing better Than mommy's milk.  Good luck!!!

Walk walk walk ! I delivered Saturday . Had an appointment Friday was 1 cm, by 10 pm I was bleeding went to the hospital was 4 cm. I was walking and playing at my niece's birthday party. Didn't Feel A thing. Breastfeeding isn't that bad once the baby latches .  But do what suits you best. All the best !!
