@starphish18 the best BF advice I received was that when it comes to BF, the best thing to do is throw the clock out the window. I follow DS's cues to know when to feed him. I do try to nurse him for at least 20 minutes though because he always falls asleep when he nurses.
@Jens_Hoes I ran into the same problem with the car seat taking up a lot of room in the grocery cart. The first time I BF in public (at a restaurant) was interesting. DS was cluster feeding that day and H and I stayed way longer at the restaurant than we intended in order to let DS nurse.
Something I've learned as a FTM is to not over do it. I noticed that I bleed more on days that I am more active getting things done or running errands. Also, I ended up in the ER last night because I have mastisis. I had a fever of almost 104, chills, aches, and a headache along with the symptoms of mastisis. I was prescribed antibiotics and am feeling better today. I was pretty active and got a lot done at the beginning of the week. Then I started feeling very fatigued and the mastisis hit me suddenly. It would be nice to get my "to do" list done every day, but I also need to listen to my body and take it easy. The upside is that I get to hang out in bed binge watching shows on Netflix with DS until I feel better
