breastfeeding

hi, first time mum here— just brought home my newborn today and ive been struggling with breastfeeding to the point where i felt super guilty about not being able to feed my baby enough milk. i dont really know how to soothe my baby whenever he cries after realising im not producing enough milk and i feel pathetic not being able to breastfeed him like i want to. #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #FTM #firstmom #baby

It’s gonna be like this in the beginning 🥲 it’ll get better when your milk starts to come in in a few days time and when baby learns to latch better, don’t give up and keep latching baby ❤️ in the meantime you can also hand express your initial milk into a syringe and syringe feed baby. This will 1. Ensure baby getting sufficient milk and 2. Will help your milk supply come in faster . If in the meantime you are stressed out about baby’s intake, can always start some formula also. Your mental health is also important!
