Yipppeeee!!!! You definitely have to give it a shot.
I was "that mom" who used to say I was going to tell people my baby was allergic to breast milk because I just didn't see myself as a "breast feeder"....as stupid as that sounds. But like someone else. My dd had other plans. While we were doing skin to skin she weaseled her way down to my boob and sorta "latched" herself. Lmao. That was my "ah ha" moment. Clearly we could do this.
Like everyone said. First month...son of a b$&@? It can really hurt! Hahahaha. I had a cracked nipple and it killed. My dr prescribed this stuff called the "Jack Newman cream". He's the breastfeeding expert and my dr holds him in very high regard so this cream was a godsend! But anyways. One month down and I was a nursing champ. I loved every second and so glad my 3 hour old had the common sense to take charge. Hahaha.
My knowing how much they are getting, cluster feeding, supply and demand are all things to just really read up on. Tummy size at birth ect and how it's totally ok if your milk doesn't come in for a while....all are things I suggest to arm yourself with and you will succeed!!!!' Not to mention this great site and all these super knowledgable women!!!!!
