At this age feeding doesn’t always follow a predictable pattern in terms of frequency, but what you should see is that baby is able to feed effectively (here’s how to tell if they are -- ruclips.net/video/tCsOhT3pbOI/видео.htmlsi=rkfgogv6xvjo66Yw ) And then sleep for around 2-3 hours. They may have some periods in the day where they feed more frequency (every hour or so) but after a few feeds they should then take a longer break. Always offers both breast at each feed and take a look at the video link above :)
The impact of implants will primarily be to do with where the incision is - was yours periareolar or inframammary (under the breast?). How old is your baby? You can follow me on instagram too for more tips/advice @alissapembertonibclc
Good afternoon Alissa, I’m a mom of 2 and expecting my 3rd little one. I had traumatic experiences with trying to breastfeed my first two children where both of them had my nipples bleeding in the first 10min of their fist feed right after birth. It was an extremely painful and I could continue breastfeeding. I had tried laser and nipple guards and lactation specialists but no luck. I soooooo badly want to give it another try and heard of the Thompson method which is supposed to teach techniques different to the ‘mainstream’ techniques which helps avoid nipple trauma and better latching. Have you heard of these different techniques? I need to purchase the program to find out what the techniques are but it is quite costly since it is in USD and I live in South Africa where our Rand is not much worth against the USD. I am also worried that I’d be purchasing a programme just to have the same terrible rest it as with my first two children. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lindy
Hi Lindy. I’m sorry to hear you had such a difficult experience with your previous two babies. So - I haven’t personally reviewed all the contents of the Thompson method. From what I’ve heard it’s similar to what a lot of IBCLCs are currently teaching but has just been branded as something new. Given your history you might actually benefit more from finding the right IBCLC for you to review the challenges you had last time, to put a plan into place prior to birth in case you encounter that pain again so that it doesn’t spell the end of bf straight away and also find a tongue tie practitioner locally as this would be something to rule out also. When is your baby due?
I had a c section I started with bottle feeding for four days because my breast milk didn't come early enough now I am struggling to make him suckle by my breast is so heavy now, help me please😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling so much with breastfeeding. This video is so so helpful.
I'm so glad to hear it helped!

What is considered frequent? My baby is 5 days and feels like he is on the breast 24/7.

Hi Alissa. Do you have any advice/experience working with mothers who have implants OVER the muscle?

@@zeesharon1582 do you mean you’re struggle with engorgement and that’s why he won’t latch?
