Breastfeeding

As a new mom it's so hard to know what is 'normal' or what to expect when breastfeeding. In the beginning it can feel hard or like it may never get easier or move along but it does.

There are different things to expect at different times, nursing your newborn in the hospital is going to be very different than nursing a one year old.

This is a place to talk about the breastfeeding experience including the emotional, physical, and everything in between needs we have as nursing moms.

Some of my favorite breastfeeding subjects include:

• Getting your milk to come in.
• Engorgement.
• Low supply or over supply.
• Mastisis.
• The exhaustion of non stop cluster feeding and waking every two hours to nurse.
• Getting the hang of nursing in public while people stare at you and wonder what you are doing :)
• Attempting to nurse in crowded places like a packed airport or on an airplane with a screaming baby.
•  Nursing while you are attempting to work and your baby is on your lap.
• Breastfeeding when you or baby is sick.
• Breastfeeding while pregnant.
• Weaning.
