Sharing and Learning from Breastfeeding Experiences
This thread is for expecting and existing breastfeeding mothers to share their experiences, ask questions, and learn from others who have been through similar situations. Discuss topics such as latching difficulties, nipple pain, engorgement, and supply issues, as well as tips on positioning, frequency, and combining with bottle-feeding if necessary.
Common breast-related issues to discuss in more detail:
* Initial difficulty and how to resolve it
* Signs of effective suck and swallow
* Managing nipple soreness and pain
* Frequent feeding compared to occasional feeding
* Managing a successful transition from EBF (exclusively breastfeeding) to mixed-feeding or bottle-feeding when necessary
General Breastfeeding Tips:
* Understanding infant cues for hunger and fullness
* Proper positioning and latch on demand
* How often to feed, including at night
* Expressing and storing breast milk for future use
