I Want To Prepare For Breastfeeding.
|
I am 26 weeks pregnant and I plan to breastfeed. I breastfed my first son and the first few weeks were absolutely miserable. My nipples were very sore. Is there anything I can do to toughen my nipples in preparation for breastfeeding?

I experienced this situation to my first pregnancy and like you said it was miserable, but second time I delivered i creamed a lot the nipples before the delivery.
then when the sore and scars came I used a silicon nipple protection,it was perfect!
whenever i was feeling that my nipple hurts i used those.
try them, they are very good!

It really happens when you breastfed your baby. After a week it sores. But only miserable with the first baby. The second time around is not like the first time. Be sure to always clean the nipples. Clean it or wash it with water [warm water] before and after breastfeeding you baby. In this way you can avoid nipple sores.

The only way to increase the breast feeding is to be eating nutritious foods sch as fish, beans, vegetables, meat and also fruits like mango, orange,apple, banana etc. But to know the right answer, just kindly go and see your midwife for further explanation. since the midwifes are well trained and and has much experience in that field they will answer you very well.

hello there and there is no preparation to breastfeed, until now there is no plan list of things to be done, you may eat some food that will help you produce some milk like corn, cereals, integral bread, vegetables and red meat, and after you can talk with your doctor about consum a table beer (sweety dark ones), stay away from scarlet eggplant and endive for awhile coz bitter food flavour usualy helps stop you to produce milk. but the best thing to do is let your baby suck your breasts and after end the breastfeed time pass a lil of your own milk around your nipples but ont forget to clean before you breastfeed your baby again... you can do that with a cotton ball and warm water. the milk has already substancies that helps your nipples to dont get dry and you dont will end with sore breasts.
