If you had time to get on Yahoo Question, it's not that bad yet. When I was in my first month with the new born, I could not do anything at all.





Advice for new mum --%26gt; Take it easy. Tell yourself that it's going to be ok no matter what is going on around you right now. This too will pass and you try to experience it with most joy and least stress, though it seems impossible more time than not. Take a deep breath and try to rest whenever possible. Don't worry about perfect housekeeping, else you will go crazy.





Advice for new breastfeeding mom --%26gt; Take a positive attitude about it. Nurse as often as your baby needs it. When I nursed my baby in the first few month, my milk was so much that when she nursed on one, the other will leak. So what I did was to nurse her on one and put a baby bottle underneath the other and let it drip in the bottle and put it in the fridge for when she needs it next. And at each sitting, it's always a 2 ounce bottle full.





If you don't have that much milk, it will somehow leak. Use disposible nursing pads. They absorb well and leave you feel nice and dry. I used both disposible and the clothes ones which require washing. I still think the clothes ones are troblesome. They don't stay dry very long inside your bra either.





Also, try to alternate the breasts. If this feeding he starts with the left breast, next time start him with the right. This way, he will always get the foremilk (the first drops that are most nutritious).





Don't smoke. Don't drink any alcohol. Eat healthily. Your baby eats what you eat so be sensible with food. If you have spicy food, so will he.





Good luck. I have been nursing my girl from her day 1 and now she is 3 years and 5 months and I don't intend to stop.

Be patient, take your time, listen to the advice of others but do what works for you. Dont give up yet it takes time to get the hang of it Dont worry about everything else focus on feeding.
If you're having difficulty at first ... you're normal! Breastfeeding has many WONDERFUL paybacks for you and baby. The only thing is getting past the beginning few days :) Take your time with it ... I would just sit in bed (my nest) with my baby and we would play, breastfeed and sleep. And soon, it was like I had been doing it my whole life! But be patient. Good job and congrats!!!!
my first piece of advice is to relax...at 4 days old you are both still learning. It's possible your milk hasn't even come in yet. It took almost a week for mine to come in. My next piece of advice is DON'T GIVE UP!! It only took about two weeks for the soreness to go away and for my little one to get the hang of it. Do you have a support system? Husband/SO/Mom/Sisters? My husband was my major support he wouldn't let me quit...he sat up with me in the wee hours of the night when she was getting up every 1.5 to 2 hours to feed. You need patience, practice and support and I promise you everything is going to work out. Also make sure you are drinking eonugh water and resting when baby rests. Let everything else go right now and rest!
