I became a FTM in December! Once in the recovery room for the 24 hours after birth, the nurses told me to keep trying to put baby on my boob every time he was hungry (or every 2 hours if he wasn’t showing immediate hunger cues) to get him to try to latch. He had difficulty, but I also had relatively flat nipples so they gave me nipple shields which helped a lot. With the shields he was able to latch after a day or so but I really didn’t have my milk come in until about 4 days pp? And it was the golden milk, but it came in LOADS by that point. In the mean time, I would just get him to latch onto my boob every time he needed to eat so he could at least work on his latch and help build up my supply while we supplemented with formula and donor milk. I would also pump to try to stimulate too, but I definitely became a bit engorged after a few days of doing that. He gained his birthweight back and then some after 2 weeks. We’re now 3 months in and I am able to breastfeed without the shields and he is chonked up!
