Nursing is so hard!

I'm on day two of our nursing vacation and it is so hard! I feel like I'm starving my babies and I am so worried about dehydrating them. It was a really  tough night and I'm so ready to just give up.....but no, must give it a good hard try.

    It is hard, I can't imagine how much harder with twins!  Hang in there, you're doing great.  Try not to worry about dehydration, but do keep an eye out for a drop in wet diapers, etc.  We're here if you need us!

  • It is hard. If you need any help please call.  Also, I made this recipe this weekend but made it as bars instead of cookies and they were awesome snacks.  I added almonds and coconut and it rocked.  They would be an easy, one hand food for you.

  • I am right there with you! I am this.close. to giving up. And I truthfully can say that I wouldnt even have attempted it with twins if I knew how hard it was. Good luck!

  • Good Luck, If they are still having wet diapers you should be ok but if you are worried keep an eye on their soft spot if it is sinking in they are dehydrated and are not getting enough. 

    Do you feel like you are increasing your supply?  Did they have a hard time sleeping or did they just want to keep nursing?  I'm not to sure if  I would be able to do it...I hope if I needed to I would.  

    Be sure to take care of yourself, try and get some rest and eat lots of protein 

    Good Luck

    Ditto - although I'm thinking it's holing up with the LO's and just nursing, nursing, nursing to build up supply?  Good luck!!!!  I hope it works!!

  • Good luck and (((hugs))). If you're not already, try to do a lot of skin to skin time with them as well. Getting all snuggly in bed with them for awhile would be a great way to accomplish it.

    Yup, this.  And best of luck!  I know it's hard but try to relax and enjoy the snuggles.
