Breast Feeding

Has been somewhat difficult for me so far. In the hospital it was overwhelming because all the nurses have their on opinion and way they think that you should do it. So, it was really hard to start and then they just stand there and watch you. Talk about pressure. My nipples are inverted and very flat and so that has made it even a harder process. However, one of the nurses gave me a rubber nipple shield and it works. I am able to breastfeed him with that. I am hoping by using that and pumping that it will hopefully draw my nipples out more. But, I have to use that thing the entire time then I am okay with that. One of the nurses said she knew several people who had to do that way. Knowing that made me feel a lot better. Anyways that is the update!
