Ready to Breastfeed
How do you prepare your breast for a successful breastfeeding?
Once I asked that to a friend who successfully breastfed her baby. She said she didn’t prepare anything.
So I experienced it myself. And, I found out some little facts to help you, mother-to-be, get prepared:
- About your BRA. Get yourself great bras. Buy those which can absorb sweat. Don’t wear too often those with wires, they will withhold the production of your milk. Get those that fit well, don’t buy bigger or smaller size. If buying during the third trimester, get the maternity ones.
- About your NIPPLES. Take good care of your nipples. The purposes are to keep them clean and make them stick out to ease the process of breastfeeding. However, it might trigger the production of oxytocin, a hormone causing contractions, it’s better that you do it only after you reach the 37th week. How to do it? Check out next Monday, I’ll share the tips…
Have a great weekend!

I could never breastfeed my son. I didn’t make enough to keep him happy so we had to switch to the bottle and formula. I felt bad, like I failed or something. But they told me it happens sometimes and not to feel that way. I will try it again with our next child tho. I hope it works xD

I’m very sorry to hear that, Jenny. There are some who cannot breastfeed. You’re not alone, dear. And, it’s not your fault that you couldn’t make enough.
But, it’s good that you want to try again with your next child. I wish you luck.
