Are you asking "How do I nurse my baby without pain?" Latch and Position will be the answer.
This video discusses the number one reason that someone may be experiencing pain while nursing - latch and position! We'll go through some of the common nursing positions as well as some tips on how to make sure we get a good latch! You got this, Mommy!
Here are some of my favorite Item for breastfeeding moms:
*Having support under baby really helps your back and arms. It's important to be comfortable because you'll be spending a lot of time with your new bundle of joy. I recommend a breastfeeding pillow, like the Boppy. Check it out here: amzn.to/3cTNo7H
*This one is truly one that I love! I give these for baby shower gifts. Mommyz love "Boob shells" (collection cups) are worn in your bra on the opposite side that baby is nursing on. In the 1st weeks, most moms leak a bit while breastfeeding. There is no need to waste those precious drops. The cups will catch the leaks and you can store the milk for an emergency freezer stash. Take a look at them (some mom's even like to have 2 sets on hand) amzn.to/2Tw0FMl
*it's a real bother to find that you're leaking all over ans disposable pads get expensive. I love love these washable Organic Bamboo Breast Pads. They're soft and absorbent. I really like knowing that they won't have any chemicals on them like disposable might have. this set has 14 pads and a great little laundry bag included so they don't get lost in the missing sock vortex lol here ya go: amzn.to/3cUGOxY
*It a good idea to have on hand a great nipple cream. If you feel sore or latch is hurting PLEASE get help right away. Here is my pick for nipple cream. It's from Mommyz Love. It's safe for baby too. Tip: Because you'll be doing so much extra hand washing, This is great to also apply to those dry spots on your hands. amzn.to/2LLMC0V
*Breast therapy packs are useful through your whole breastfeeding journey. You can refrigerate then and apply to your breasts if you fee engorged then you can microwave them if you get a clogged duct.They come with washable covers. Tip: Applying them warm helps when pumping to have a letdown. amzn.to/3bPNCvz

@cartooncat4580 Год назад

One of the most helpful videos! Prepping for baby so I’ll be revisiting this after baby is here I’m sure :)

@marycahillclc Год назад

Thanks! You’ll do great I’m sure ❤️. It can be helpful to have a partner or support person watch it too. Then if you’re ever struggling, they can say “oh, remember…”

I’ve had lactationist shared latching technique video but your explanation speaks to me more and easier to understand! I’m using breastfeeding pillow(my Brest friend) with my 2 months old baby, but should I not? It was helpful when she was newly born and tiny but it feels like she’s becoming too big for it. If you are having your baby side lying position, does nose to nipple goes side to side? Not up on down..? (Sorry this might be obvious question😂) I’m still having so much pain breastfeeding at 2 months in, and my nipples are always erect and hurts to wear anything🫠

@marycahillclc 7 месяцев назад

Hi mommy! If she seems too big for the pillow, you can switch to a smaller pillow or a tower or blanket. Just be sure that your position is comfortable. Be sure that you’re not leaning over to latch her because that will be hard on your back after a while. If you’re laying back with baby on you or if you are side lying, you may not need a pillow. Yes, you would still start nose to nip on side lying. We want baby’s head tilting back when latched. Baby’s chin should be pressed into your breast. (There’s no obvious or dumb questions.❤️) So let try to figure out the pain.. Is it painful while she’s latched or just after? Do your nipples feel better in an hour or always hurt? Do you have a forceful letdown/over supply? What are your thoughts on why you’re having pain?

My 2,5 week old baby couldn't latch and we use nipple shields, going great so far. But when i take off the nipple shield baby still can't latch and gets frustrated. Do you think he will latch after two months let's say, because he'll got bigger and stronger? This scenario is my only hope right now that i have tried everything..

@marycahillclc 2 месяца назад

Hi mommy! When you try to latch baby at the breast, is baby trying to latch or refusing to take hold of the nipple? Some babies will start out refusing the nipple because a bottle or nipple shield are easier to latch to. To get baby to take the breast you need to, be patient and not let you or baby get upset but at the same time you need to consistently offer the breast at each feeding. Once baby starts to fuss stop though and nurse with the shield. Try to slip the shield off mid feeding and then again at the end of the feeding if you can do this consistently at every feeding baby will usually start to latch within a few days or a week or two. Baby will usually start to latch while sleepy or asleep in the beginning. They will then start to latch more and more through the day. If baby seems to be trying to latch, but not able to take hold of the breast. There could be something about the shape of your nipple that makes it hard for baby to latch or baby could have a lip or tongue tie. Do you think either of those could be an issue?

@soultookie 2 месяца назад

@@marycahillclc hi thank you for immediately responding! Yes the baby has a lip tie and we'll soon discuss with the pediatrician about removing it. The baby tried from the very beginning to latch, the lactation consultants said I'm doing the move the right way, but he can't hold the breast in his mouth. Whilst the bottom lip and the chin have the right position on the breast, the upper lip is tight. Of course if he gets upset then he won't even try to latch. My breasts have the shape of "tear", they are long and heavy at the ending.

@marycahillclc 2 месяца назад

@@soultookie i would just keep with the shield for now then. Until you get the lip revision (if needed), it won’t hurt to try to occasionally remove the shield during feedings to see if he can latch. See what your doctor says about the tie. Sometimes, if the tie is minor, some stretching exercises by massaging the lip area several times daily can make a difference. If the doctor believes that it definitely needs released, it should be much better right after. Was baby born at 40 weeks? Sometimes, (especially boys for some reason) babies have a receded chin. It may take 2 to 4 weeks but it may start to develop and grow outwards. When this happens, baby can sometimes latch well after that growth.

@soultookie 2 месяца назад

@@marycahillclc baby was born at 40w5d and it's a boy but as far as i can tell he has a typical chin. But thanks for the massage exercises info i didn't know there was such a thing!

This is my first baby, she’s 6 days old and my breast hurt😩… I’m struggling to latch her to my breast causing my breast to be engorged 😢

@marycahillclc Год назад

Congrats mommy! Is the pain on the whole breast or is it the nipples? Does she seem to try to latch but is struggling because you’re engorged? Are you pumping and bottle feeding or are you able to latch her after a bit? Is she having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours now? Do a small amount of pumping to stay comfortable, then apply lots and lots of cold/cool compresses. I’ll like you my video on engorgement.

@marycahillclc 7 месяцев назад

A sitting upright or laying back are often perfect. I These positions help to naturally put baby in the right position. The top of the areola should be showing.

@valenciashelby6240 Год назад

This is my first baby, and 8 weeks later I still have pain during breastfeeding. It's still painful, even after the latch. I've seen at least three lactation consultants, and while the tips are great, breastfeeding is still painful. But my child is worth it, so I'll keep at it. This video gives me hope. Thank you for making this. 🫶🏾

@marycahillclc Год назад

You’re a tough mommy! ❤️ Tell me, does the pain hurt all of the way through the feeding? Is one side worse than the other? How are you after a feed? Red, sore or cracked? After a feeding, does your nipple look smooshed? Like the end of a lipstick? Do you have a forceful letdown/oversupply? Do you hear a clicking sound during a feeding? Has baby (recently) been checked for tongue tie? And who by? Sorry, so many questions 🥰

@valenciashelby6240 Год назад

@@marycahillclc No worries! Yes, it hurts during the entire feeding. I've tried breaking the latch and trying again, but it's still painting. I do feel pulling, which is a good sign for me. It's typically more painful in the outer breast than in the inner part. There's also continuous pain throughout the innermost corner/part of the nipple, but it really depends on the hold and positioning of the baby. My infant has been checked for tongue and lip ties. None are present/visible. However, I've noticed more tongue movement and rolling from the munchkin. I hardly ever feel that 'roof of mouth' sensation, and find myself shoving more of my breast in baby's mouth in hopes of a better latch and some relief. But yes, it hurts from beginning to end. When baby wants more milk, and sucks harder, there are clicks and additional pain. It feels like my nipples are being cut by dull scissors, if that makes sense. Most times, my nipples do look reddish, and smooshed. When they do look normal, it still hurts. Nipple cream, rest days, silver nipple shields and latching research are keeping me motivated.

@marycahillclc Год назад

@@valenciashelby6240 Do you think that your letdown is forceful? Does baby seem to almost choke during a letdown? Is baby having any tummy issues? Green and goopy poops?

@valenciashelby6240 Год назад

@@marycahillclc No, letdown isn't forceful. Baby isn't choking. At times, I think letdown is slower, as I notice baby pulls harder and moves head from side to side and smack, as if the milk is too good to be true. Sometimes, baby is gassy, but no green and goopy poop present. Stools are mustard/brown and a little thinner than pudding.

@marycahillclc Год назад

@@valenciashelby6240 That all sounds great! Was the tongue tie checked recently? It can be hard to tell on a newborn.
