I gave birth 18 days ago and only now my milk is coming in. My baby has been on formula since birth. I really am hoping I’ll be able to breastfeed her moving.
The more u put baby to breast and pump while babys not on the preast the milk will come, milk is coming in more and more the more it is coming out of the breast

Edit: After two days of offering, he came back to me.. now 2 years 1 months trying slow weaning.. Dont give up mumma, just be patient and try again and again they will come back..
I am currently in hospital with 7 incisions from abscesses in my right breast. Ouch is all I can say. I’ve nursed 6 babies and only had basic mastitis once, this time is a whole new thing. I’m fortunately able to pump and no incisions are under the flange though it is EXTREMELY painful. Will I give up? Absolutely not. I’ll get through the pain and we will be back on track soon
Ive done some research. The answer is yes, because you can trigger hormones to create milk through consistent stimulating of the nipple at least 8-10 times a day for about 20 mins. Put baby on breast or use a breast pump. Consistency will help and so will skin-to-skin with baby
It's been a month and a half since my baby's breast rejection.. Please help.. He doesn't even take bottles.. He's very week now.. He only dream feeds and that too only a little..
My baby wants breast milk but he is not opening his mouth as much he used to. Its been couple of days, what should I do to open is mouth wider? He has been taking milk just fine and now he wants breast milk but he is unable to open his mouth?
@@srupareddy9057 i tried many tricks. I breastfed while he was asleep, i breastfed while he was on the baby carrier as i was swinging. I tried giving him his pacifier and when he opened his mouth i gave him the breast instead. I breastfed in the dark while swinging on the bed or while i was walking. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didnt, but i never forced him, that can actually make it even worse. When i tried all of these tricks and he refused then i pumped and gave him the bottle. It was one of the hardest most desperate moments of my life, but i didn’t give up because i really wanted to breastfeed at least one year. So my advice is keep trying, use these tricks and be patient, its lasted for over 2 months for me which is a long time, so take me as an example that it can work❤️hope he starts breastfeeding as normal as quick as possible, you can do this mama🙌🏻

It's important that any possible abscess is diagnosed by a professional, who will tell you the next step, but an abscess will need to be aspirated, and anti-biotics are usually given afterwards.
I just had abscess and dr cut me did surgery closed to areola . I still want to breastfeed , now I’m on antibiotics after couple of days I’m done with antibiotics. I’m concern would I be still able to breastfeed from my that effected breast ?
Many women worry when they have some form of surgery on their breast as to whether they will be able to continue to breastfeed on that side. Whilst there are no guarantees, the best way is to try. Much depends on how the surgeon cut you and how much of the breast was affected. I would suspect that you would be OK, in regards to an abscess. While you have had an abscess, it would be worth checking out the video on breast implants - thebreastfeedingcompanion.com/project/breastfeed-with-implants/ - as the same question arises here. Hope that helps.
