I decided to start this thread after the wonderful Robbie saved my life (LOL). I had a bf''ing issue and Robbie sent me an email with some info that I was unaware of as well as shared her technique with me. The info has made feeding DD so much easier.
I would not have gotten the info had I not asked the question and I realized that we all have so much info on how to successfully feed our newborns that it may be beneficial to share our stories and information in one place where our pregnant ps''ers can get the benefit. Newborns only really "do" three things: eat, sleep, poop/pee. The eating part I have found to be the most difficult. DD sleeps the majority of the day and well, poop is poop. But how to latch, how much she should be eating and for how long, is she getting enough, etc has been the biggest learning curve. I also realized through reading some other boards that formula feeding isn''t as easy as preparing a bottle either.
So if you experienced moms don''t mind (and if you have the time), let''s chat about feeding newborns.
For the bf''ing moms:
share your bf''ing story...
What was your biggest challenge? How did you overcome it?
What has been your biggest piece of info that you either researched or was shared with you that really made things easier?
For the ff''ing moms:
How did you find a formula that worked for DC?
Any issues in trying the different brands?
Any pearls of wisdom to share with everyone?
