Hi everyone.
Actively trying for DC2.
I didn't get to breastfeed with DD as I was on a lot of medication at the time and I wasn't long out of having cancer, it was just the wrong time and I had too many medications.
Things are different this time, on a lot less medication, and I really would like to try and breastfeed or at least combi feed. I had so much milk come in last time and it made me so sad to let it all dry up. Will that be the same this time, do people see patterns in their milk supply when it comes to subsequent children?
Does anyone have any advice? I really want to be prepared which is why I'm looking into this now so I can have as much information as possible. I might be being a bit silly asking this before I'm pregnant I know. (Waiting patiently to test in the next few days..)
The only thing that baffles me is that I have tiny nipples. They got a lot darker when pregnant with DD but they didn't change in size. They're much lighter now. They aren't inverted at all, just about the size of a 10p and my actual nipple bit is very small (smaller than a rubber tip on a pencil) so I'm worried they will be too small for a good latch. I didn't do any research into breastfeeding with DD as I knew from the start I wouldn't be able to.
Any tips / tricks welcome. Total novice here so would like to be prepared and do lots of research!
Thank you!
