Breast feeding

You are not a failure. The most important thing is asking youself....Is baby having regular wet nappies at least 6 a day?

Power pumping - high nutrient foods - water - vitamins - reducing stress - correct latching - wearing a good supportive bra - comfortable feeding pillow - finding a feeding position that works for you

Milk production often ramps up based on demand... Unless you're unlucky to have low milk production, no matter what. I've heard the lactation cookies really work. There's also different supplements that I've heard can be useful, but I don't remember them off hand. If you have, or can get a breast pump, I would encourage that. You can pump after you feed baby, to really make sure that you're getting a lot of the hind milk out. The emptier you can get them, the more your supply *should* ramp up. I'm not sure how old baby is, but near the beginning they only drink 2-4 oz per feed... And newborns, even less. I would also point you to la leche League https://llli.org/ There is SO much info, from food and water intake, to how to get a great latch. I found it really useful.

And please don't say you're a failure as a mom because of breastfeeding. EBF is HARD. It doesn't come naturally like you expect. It hurts. It's time consuming. There is so much weight on your shoulders already. They used to say "breast is best". Now it's "fed is best"... Because if you're struggling mentally and physically to give everything to breastfeeding, it isn't what's best for bubs. They need their mom to be present and focused on figuring out this mom stuff. Be kind to yourself. You can only do your best! 💜

I need tips on how to proper latch my little baby has a broken arm due to him being bitty first during a. Planned c section 🥹 so feeding with my right boob is difficult He keeps shallow latching and I have few bites on each

Try cupping your breast so it’s the shape of a burger so when it’s going into babies mouth it’s like biting into a burger. Xx

Try the football hold on the right side if you can't lay baby on his left side. I used cross cradle predominantly so i could hold my breast as @Sera Kay ✨ mentioned. Here's a link that may help. https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/positioning/
