David is 4 days today I was in the hospital from Wednesday till Friday. Since we've been home he doesn't wanna sleep at night at all how do I get him thinking about sleeping in his crib? Oh yeah how do I deal with engorgement it hurts so bad and he won't latch on if I can't get things goin. TIA
Don't know what to say about the crib, but as far as latching when we had trouble in the hospital the lactation consultant gave me a nipple shield and it helped so much! She said sometimes newborns have trouble getting our nipples far enough back into their mouths so the shield gives them something to grab onto. Of course now almost two weeks in I haven't been able to get my little dude to latch without the shield but in time I think I'll be able to wean him off it.
Yeah I've been swaddling him but it doesn't help him sleep at night. He latches on well I'm just so "full" it hurts he will drink but if I have to much he can't attach it's so hard to watch him fight to feed.
