I was terrified. I didn't get to try it before my baby was born because she is premature, so after I had her the lactation consultant wheeled in a pump and told me to start trying. Never using a pump before I was very Nervous. Especially because she said I should pump for 20 minutes every 2 hours and will probably not get any milk the first week maybe a little over. Thankfully I did
I have 3 children I tried bf with my 2 eldest but they wouldn't take to it but I did it with my daughter till she was 6 months I had a manual pump at first when I used that it was weird and I was quite nervousi just felt like it waa stretching my boob..but after a couple of days when the actual milk comes through it was much easier I then got sick of pumping so got a electric one omg much better...I think breastfeeding can be overwhelming anyway just takes a bit of getting use to :) x
Yes! I just got one yesterday and was so nervous trying it,I literally just tried it for a few seconds and my god my nipples were sore for ages...breastfeeding is so gonna hurt,im kinda more worried about that now than labor lol
I'm buying my pump next week and am due in 3 weeks. I'm extremely nervous for the whole breastfeeding expierence. Honestly the pump scares and intimidates me...
