My baby girl was two weeks Sunday and I totally agree. I love breast feeding her. She latches perfect now and it doesn't hurt at all. It's very demanding and can be hard to keep up but it's all worth it for me the first week was the hardest. Even had cracked nipples but I used breast milk also and it worked great. Best wishes to all.

I have a rash on my right breast just about 3 fingers under the nipple and it is about 4 fingers long with 2 clogged pores in it. It is sore but not warm to the touch. has any one else had this problem.

Are you breast feeding? My dr said I couldnt pump until my daughter was a month old. If you're not breast feeding, then carry a container or nursery water, wipes and diapers. I didnt need a lot when my daughter was really new.

ve snipped nails too close enough times. If your breast feeding there is no need to buy formula, you will most likely get some at the hospital which you can keep in case you have issues with breast feeding.

Are you breast feeding or using formula?

It's good to pack a baby bag for sure. Warm clothes cause it'll be cold, a snow suit if you're somewhere that gets snow, diapers, wipes, pacifier, burp cloths, blankets, they won't let you leave the hospital without a car seat. Also don't forget about a bag for yourself with toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, extra clothes, something to do (lap top, iPod, crosswords, etc...

I then did a combination of putting him to the breast at every feeding, then feeding him a bottle of formula while I pumped. I kept this up until 6 weeks, then he just began refusing to eat from the breast...I think it's because he got so tired of me continually trying to latch him on properly that he got too frustrated and would just scream & cry. I then strictly pumped and supplemented with formula until 10 weeks, when I couldn't keep it up anymore do to my schedule.

Okay - Who is breast feeding and who is bottle feeding? I think I am going to breast feed for a few months (have to go back to work after 8 weeks) and then I might pump for 1 month at work, then gradually make the switch to formula. My sister breast-fed her little one until she was one. She did not pump - she just sumplemented with formula while she was working, which is an option too.

Good Luck with breast feeding. I failed to with my daughter. But hoping to try again this pregnancy.

Have any of you mommies feed your babies both breast milk & formula at the same time ? How did it work for you ?

Breast feeding is better both for you and the baby. Also formula is expensive and babies from my personal experiences tend to be crankier and cry more. Everyone has their own perferences. Try it out and if it dont work for you then it didnt work.

I choose to breast feed because that is what is best for baby, it is a wonderful bonding experience, and it is free!

U can breastfeed at the same time. Or pump aswell...or regular milk is fine too.

Ya know, lots of women become nervous about breast feeding. In truth, babies come out instinctively knowing what to do. They are ready to go. It's a pretty natural process. Some women do have trouble and some babies do latch on incorrectly, but a lactation specialist works with you IN the hospital to kind of get things going smoothly before you go home from the hospital. And if it doesn't work out, lots and lots of women do bottle feed with healthy and happy babies. Just think .

Inflammatory breast cancer is a very rare type of cancer that would present with rapid, unusual increase in breast size,redness, rash, persistent itching of breast or nipple,lump or thickening of breast tissue,stabbing pain and/or soreness of breast,feverish breast swelling of lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone,dimpling or nipple retraction. The skin of the breast may also show the pitted appearance called "peau d'orange" (similar to the skin of an orange).

Lanolin cream to sooth the nipples and possibly a breast feeding cover if you plan to breast feed in front of people. Also a nipple shield just in case baby has trouble latching.

Diaper rash cream if your breast feeding, babies will poop so much. My son would poop from stretching. And I couldn't always change him every second so he caught diaper rashes.. I say triple paste is the best. 3. Bottles if your going to formula feed. I like dr.browns I rarely burp my son because of the bottles, they work wonders. 4. Clothes!!! Lol babies can't have too much clothes, they poop and puke so much they will go through clothes like crazy.

Are you breast feeding him? Breast fed babies will at times have stool that can be green color. You stated he has been congested. If it has not cleared up, suggest going to the Doctor again.

I usually feed on 1 breast, burp baby, change nappy, finish off feeding on other side, burp baby again and then she's fast asleep for 3+ hours.
