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

This is common the some if not most during the first few weeks of giving birth. I had problems as it took weeks before I can able to express some milk and it is always not enough. I had to feed my NB with formula and BM as supplement where in it bw other way around. my gynae explains to me that it will take some time and lots of patience in expressing milk. You need to have enough rest and more water coz no matter how much supplements you are taking but you are dehydrated, there's not enough milk to express. Have enough rest amd please don't feel guilty if you don't have enough at the moment. Trust the process and enjoy the journey. Take care! 🌷
