Ok one more BF question!
Does your LO require you to C-hold your breast while they are feeding? Mine does otherwise she stops sucking. Is that normal?
-
As mine got older I wouldn't need to hold anymore.
-
LO is 4 months and gets distracted so I have to hold my breast to keep it in his mouth!
-
First 2 months I had to use both hands to nurse... now I need 1 or none
LO is 3.5 months now.
-
What does C hold mean?
-
I want to say it took a good month before I didn't have to use that.
-
@Mrsbells: It's a way you pinch (ok, technically hold) your breast so the nipple sticks out in the easiest-to-latch-on shape.

@Mrsbells: here's a picture of what it looks like

I had to do this for the first 2 months. At 4.5 months she's a pro!
-
Nope, but I do have to put myself back in occassionally.
-
I hope this isn't the case for me. I have big boobs and little hands. I feel like my hand would cramp up!!
-
@MamaMoose: my hands totally cramp up!
-
@MamaMoose: Mine did cramp up that whole first month! But he can latch on without me even touching my breast now (3 months old).
-
Only for the first two or three months. I remember how much my hands ached in the early days.
Now at 6.5 months, she's a pro and can latch on (and stay latched on) in random positions or in the dark
-
@sunny: Yes unfortunately - at 16 weeks still! My hand cramps up....
LO is 3.5 months now.
