Yes I had that initial toe-curling on pain for a few weeks, it gradually got better and one day I just noticed I had no more pain

Yes she needs to be tummy to tummy. If you turn your head to the side and drink it isn't very comfortable. The fact the pain is only at the start is a good sign and should pass soon. I agree you will suddenly realise one day that the pain is gone. It's a wonderful feeling when you realise!

Until then i will be counting down the days,and yes Maggs that is exactly how it works,she sucks and my toes curl. I read in my baby book Haydens feeding style is barracuda

*Barracuda
Is your baby like a little vacuum, latching on tenaciously and suckling with all her might for ten to 20 minutes at a time? If yes, you may have a barracuda-like baby on your hands (or at your breast!).*

Which she is ,and is probably why im more sore,but like i said i will be counting down the days

any advice on bfing after a c-section? think i might have to have one tomorrow.

Maggs · Feb 7th, 2012, 04:33 AM

I don't know much about it, but all I can recommend is doing as much skin to skin with your lo as early as possible.

My advice would be DO NOT listen to midwives!!! Just feed feed feed your baby whenever they want it, and trust your body, and DO NOT "top up" with formula in the first month or your supply will be ruined!

I had a C-section and my advice is to just latch your baby on as soon as you're in recovery. And read up on what's normal newborn behaviour for a breastfed baby as a lot of nurses in hospital seem to have no idea about this!

I had a c-section. I BF'd four hours after because my wee man was in NICU (heart condition).

Put a pillow across your lap and ask for help!

Newborns feed A LOT! Don't let them convince you to give formula xxxxx
