    I have some ?s if u don't mind @krazymomofadrian
    I'm a first time momma &kinda clueless ;;)
    1. Why do I need to bring my pump to the hospital if I am going to breast feed..breast to baby for first few weeks?
    2. I don't want a epidural. Is there ant pain relievers you recommend that will NOT cause me to b confined to the bed..
    3. Does breastfeeding affect your after birth period? Like make it longer?
    4. Any tips on breast feeding will help!!! Noone I know has ever done breast feeding.. besides a few friends that idk if I'd completely trust their opinion when it comes to my child's health.
    Thank you!
  • @jay_brad I will answer your questions tommorow I am sorry out has been a long day
  • I just wanted you to know I an not ignoring you, I an just really tired. Sorry again.
  • Its okay :)
  • I was always told for #14 to not take baths bc it can cause infections until you stop bleeding! Good advise though on a lot if these!!!! You must have some time in your hands to type all this out lol.
  • @jay_brad okae sorry it took so long, but here is your answers...
    1.Your newborn may not eat much the first 18 hours, which is normal. It is just a precautionary measure, but I think i mostly meant that you need it before you go to the hospital though you don't necessarily need to bring it to the hospital. I may have not worded that correctly.
    2. They can give you a medication for IV, but other than acetaminophen no I don't know. That would be definitely be something to ask when you take your hospital tour.
    3. I have no idea, I heal fast so I stopped bleeding at 3 weeks, then very light spotting about a week after. But breastfeeding does help your uterus heal faster and can lead to less problems.
    4. It depends what kind of questions do you have? I can give you my personal cell phone number so if any arise you can go ahead text or just ask me on any of my discussions and I will be more than happy to give you advice :) good luck Momma.
  • @momofsoontobe7 thanks and I am a stay at home breastfeeding mom, so I updated a lot of these while breastfeeding on my phone. so yea I do have a lot of time on my hands.
  • Thank you dear! :)
  • Saving thisss :)
  • @krazymomofadrian can you bf normally if you have cyst in your breast? Would it be more painful?
  • I have no idea sorry. What kind of cyst is it, where at. It could affect your ducts depending on where it is so I would ask your doctor about it. I hope you can, so good luck.
  • It shouldn't be more painful, unless it affects your nipple, use nipple better or lanolin if you do feel discomfort. Which no lie it does at first. @kara_lamek
  • Thanks:)
  • Thank you:)
  • Formula babies: I bought a snack compartment container. And that is where I measure babys formula for every nite feeding and to go out somewhere. I only add the amount of water to every bottle and at bbys next feedn all I do is pour the powder from container.. thats already measured into bottle and feed. I prepare my 3-4 bottles with exact amount of water(oz) and take it to my nightstand and prepare when baby demands... SOOOO easy and convinient. The containers are sold at Babies R Us and have either 3 and 4 feeding dividers for $3.99! I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL FORMULA BABIES!
    SOOOO EASY!!!
