    I mention “nipple to chin”, this wasn’t overly clear communication on my part! We aren’t aiming the nipple down to the chin…you’re gonna lead with baby’s chin with the nipple aimed up, aimed at the nose, and then baby can come up and over the nipple to fully latch on, which will help get a deep latch. I hope this didn’t confuse anything ❤

I’m scared to latch baby because it’s been so painful I’ve watched many video that the dr sent and I’ve had no luck I just finished watching this video and can finally say I got a good latch without any pain.

      I had a lot of trouble breastfeeding at first and had to call the nurses in frequently to help me and pretty much every single one of them grabbed my breast and shoved it in baby's mouth! One nurse one time even pinched my nipple super painfully (I'm very sensitive and also have 0 pain tolerance!) to shove in baby's mouth! My Mom said she had the same experience when I was born, too.

    This video was 10x more helpful than any of the lactation consultants I've spoken to. The advice I keep receiving is "keep trying" and "make sure you're pumping from 12am-5am." Baby literally takes 1-2 hours to eat and go back down. After pushing it, we got in to see a specialist who confirmed the baby has a lip and tongue tie. We are still struggling, but this info was very helpful.

    Thank you for the useful information! I had my second baby 2 weeks ago and I’m breastfeeding this time around, so I’m trying to educate myself the best way I can, to see what I’m doing wrong (or right). I’ve spoken with several lactation consultants while in the hospital and after being discharged, I definitely need to practice getting him latched on correctly.
    Will be subscribing to help with this new journey that I’m on!

    I think relaxing is very important.. not just because it can put baby on edge but because your body might not cooperate. This could be as severe as impacting milk supply or maybe just a limp nipple. I firmly believe my stress and perceived lack of support made it very difficult for my body to function correctly and made it impossible to latch. Once I was able to relax and tell myself “we will get this”, my nipple seemed to become erect much more easily.

      I learned this while breastfeeding my 3rd baby. He was very impatient and I realized that my stress was actually preventing my "let-down" reflex from happening. I had to get creative and find ways to distract both of us in order to successfully feed him. Watching TV, listening to music, looking through photos, etc ...

      Hey, first time mum here who had plans to breastfeed & pump but currently on the breast only as all the pumps I tried hurt so much! Electric, manual, haakaa, etc. I don't know what I might be doing wrong, but the suction for some reason just feels tight and painful and gradually gets worse the longer I use them. The only way I can express without pain is by hand, which hurts the back to lean over and express into a bottle/haakaa pump to catch it.
      Do you maybe have any advice for someone breastfeeding struggling to pump?

Also speak to a lactation consultant as I am not trained in any of that. But I do want to say I hate you are going through that and you are incredible for going through what you have. No matter what is fed to your baby breast, or formula you are still an incredible mom and your baby will be thrive.

    I wonder if other women experienced the following situation as I did. I had my fourth baby at noon. By late afternoon my milk was already coming in. I’d nursed my other babies so I knew the fullness and the let down reflex. My nurse chuckled and said it wasn’t possible, but it was happening!

    Love all your content and this very important and helpful information.
    One comment, I learned in LLL that having baby's jaw lower on the breast ensured a more nursing action on the breast tissue - rather than aiming the nipple toward their chin. I was encouraged to let baby's chin press into the breast tissue which also left a little more air space for breathing.

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před 6 měsíci +1

      So yes I did a pinned comment. Baby should lead with the chin and make contact with chin first. Then reach over the nipple to latch. Nipple pointing towards the nose

After getting back home it was so hard as the latching hurts so bad and i had sore bleeding nipples. I couldn't stay in a good position due ti the pain from my incision and then i started to combine feed my baby. Eventually i reduced the formula and started pumping when my nipples healed. im still struggling to get a good latch some days it wirks some days it doesnt and i felt so bad to put my baby in such a uncomfortable situation.

    I'm pregnant with my 2nd and I had so much trouble with my first. I was seen by 8 different lactation consultants and NONE of them were 1/8th as helpful as this video. They never even checked for tongue or lip tie (I never even heard of lip tie until a doula I had met noticed my daughters, when she was 1 1/2). They kept telling me my daughters difficulty latching was my "bad for nursing nipples", instead of teaching me how to properly prime them. AND they gave me so much anxiety because she was "losing too much weight" which they said was because I wasn't producing enough. The reality was that she lost 15% instead of the preferred 10 in the first 24 hours, but that was because I had a LOT of IV fluids in the 24 hours before she was born. They then told me if I wasn't getting a lot with a pump I must not be producing, which me not becoming engorged was also apparently evidence of. They had me on the pump every minute my daughter wasn't on me and using nipple shields. Which I kinda think was responsible for me getting thrush that wouldn't go away for 8 weeks. Never once did they mention that many moms don't surplus produce, then maybe I could've considered that I was the kind that produces on demand.
    Ultimately all this led to me feeling insanely anxious and gorging myself trying to get my supply up. I would power pump through the night, so upset that I couldn't make my supply "come in". Finally my Dr. insisted I quit for my mental safety. I'm still a bit upset about it. But I finally get another shot!
    Ladies, don't give up and don't fall into these myths!

    Whem she says it should not be so painful you want to stop.. thats only true after about the second week. Or at least for me it was.. every initial latch for the first couole weeks with all 3 of my kids was toe curlinf pain and i wanted to stop so bad, bur kept reminding myself it woupd get better and it did. Currently 6 weeks with my 3rd and no pain. Watching this because mine is clicking a lot, though she feeds well and is getting a lot. It seems like aometimes we are not getting a geeat oatch which causes gas and lots of crying.. 😞

    Hi, thank you for the informative video. Great descriptions and advice. Unfortunately ive not had any support with breast feeding this time around and struggling at the moment. Do you have any tips on breastfeeding when engorged? My milk came in on day 3 and since baby can't get a deep enough latch and breasts are rock solid so can't manipulate to help. I've tried pumping some milk off before a feed and also using a warm compress but it is really hit and miss on if he can latch now so I'm having to pump Milk and bottle feed at the moment. I'd love to be able to breastfeed exclusively again. Thank you

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před 10 měsíci +1

      The best advice is to pump milk off first so they can get a hold of the nipple and areola. Other than that you can try feeding after a shower so the breasts are a bit softer. Or gentle massage first to soften them up. Or you can try feeding baby more often so there’s not as much of an build up inside of the breasts (sounds counterintuitive…but you’re not emptying the breasts to tell your body to make more and over supply you’re just making it so the milk has an easier time moving). And you can ice between feedings for swelling! Try some of those!

    On my 3rd baby, 2 days PP. I tense up from the pain in my nipples when she latches. Even when the LC came and helped with the latch and positioning it’s still painful. I’m cracked and sore. People say it’s not supposed to hurt but it hurt me with the last babies too. And it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong.

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před rokem +3

      I’m so sorry to hear this. If your nipples are cracked try silverette nursing cups! Little breast milk in them then over your nipples between feeds to help heal and keep fabric from rubbing off healing tissue. Also how’s your supply? Has baby been assessed for a lip or tongue tie?

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před rokem

      So lactation consultants will advise against this as it can affect your supply. I would try without it and see how it goes, try these other tips to get a great latch. If you’re still using pain the nipple shield can absolutely be a great tool but you should try to get yourself off of it once baby establishes a good latch

      There’s always a possibility to be able to get back into it! But you’ll have to be patient because baby might refuse to begin with. Always offer the baby the nipple to latch first before you supplement.

Have I failed in doing this?

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Not at all! Just make sure baby is on your breast as much as possible (remember you need that stimulation at the breast to get that milk flowing!) and if you are doing formula as well always put the baby to the breast first! Otherwise their sucks won’t be as efficient if they are full from formula!
      Please go check out my video on increasing milk supply, it’s newer probably three videos from the top! It talks about this

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před rokem +7

      Personally I believe if your baby is gaining weight and showing signs that they are not hungry and have enough wet and dirty diapers then your supply isn’t being damaged by the shields! What I would do is every feed get your letdown get baby going on the shield then after a bit quickly pop the shield off and get baby right back on and see. You might be surprised one day baby just takes the breast. That’s what I did. I was persistent and would try every feed. I wouldn’t let baby get super mad or fussy about it though-it was try and if it was a no go then meh it was a no go for that session and back on the shield went🩷

    I had such a hard time breastfeeding. He didn't latch properly even after seeing two lactation specialists for a total of three sessions. I ended up having thrush for three months, which led to nipple blanching and I now have perminant damage. I can't go without a bra because the slight rubbing from my shirt hurts and I can't even let the shower run on my nipples without pain.
    Every time he latched on, I would tense up, and he would spread is hands open and stop sucking. It's supposed to be a bonding experience, but instead it was just stessful for both of us. Everyone around me was pressuring me to keep breastfeeding and how bad formula was so I kept going when I should have stopped.

      Oh gosh I'm so sorry to hear this. This is the issue with the "breast is best" message. Is it great for babies? Yes. Does it give babies things that formula cant, also yes. But are formulas a form of food for your baby that provides them with nutrients and minerals and vitamins and sustenance to help them grow and thrive while ALSO allowing parents to keep their mental health and personal needs in balance? YEEEEES! Im sorry you felt such pressure.

    • @mamanursetina
      @mamanursetina  Před 11 měsíci

      It just has to do with your ability to control, have one hand free and their sucking pattern! My other suggestions would be to pull up on the areola from below a few times before latching or using a nipple everter. If you are really struggling you could try a shield for the short term!

      I hope things are better for you now! I know when I had my baby he didn’t want to latch either my lactation consultant told me to boop his nose the top lip then gently pull the chin down and the mouth should open up. I would pinch my areola so I could get him to take in as much as he needed. If they don’t stay latched try expressing a little for them and try again or try to express some while you are in their mouth it can be tricky to do this and not break their seal but it is possible! These are just things I learned. I hope it helps if not definitely try to reach out to a lactation consultant! Don’t get discouraged and try to stay relaxed!
