Congratulations!!! :)

What kind of breastfeeding problems are you having? Someone here might have some advice. Better yet, see if you can get in touch with a lactation consultant through the hospital, or the local La Leche League people--they may be able to help.

Best to you!

we are having latch problems. and the fact that it took some time to get my milk in really didnt help. i have talked with some people at the hospital and they have been trying to help me but its getting really frustrating for the both of us. sometimes she gets on really good and other times she doesnt at all.

Hey, congratulated you on LJ but heres more for good measure!
Well done on birthing your little girl. Welcome Peyton!
Welcome A to the adventures of being a big sister (she'll do great) and health, warmth & happieness to the 4 of you.

Hope you get some good help with the latch issues. I wondering if she might have a stuffy nose? That can affect latch. Good luck with it all and hope you get all the help you need.

Congratulations :)

I had a bit of problems with latching when Trey was born, and the hospital lactation consultant suggested the use of a nipple shield. It sticks on to your nipple and the babe latches on that, and it draws your nipple out into the correct shape, and then you just make a quick switch. It really helped with my own problems with latching, if things get too frustrating it might be worth a try. Good luck!
