Postpartum

Hello, FTM here! I just gave birth to a baby boy and nakapag latch na din sya sakin since lumabas sya. But, last night iyak sya ng iyak kahit na nakapasok na sa bibig nya yung nipples ko. I tried to do manual pump and yung lumabas is dugo lang na walang milk. Any ideas and tips po sa mga nakaranas na ng ganito? Thank you in advance. #Postpartum #FTM

Make sure po to learn how to DEEP LATCH, ipalatch nyo lang po kay baby. Remember that breastfeeding is NOT supposed to be painful. Kapag masakit po, i-unlatch si baby and try again (insert a clean finger sa pisngi ni baby to break the suction). Medyo challenging po at first na mamaster ang deep latch pero once nakuha nyo na po, it's well worth it. Watch this video on how to deep latch and avoid nipple pain: https://youtu.be/WVEABNhXr1A?si=Y1f8voRdjOHSp51D If engorged po ang breast nyo, possible na nahihirapan rin po sya sa matigas na nipple and/ or malakas na pressure ng gatas. Kapag umiiyak po si baby, it may not necessarily be because of hunger. Pwedeng need to burp, or soiled diaper, growth spurt, etc. or simply wants to cuddle and be near you since 9months sya sa comfort of your tummy at naninibago pa sya ngayon sa noisy outside world.
