Breastfeeding Problems

I know this thread is a bit old, but still wanted to add a tip I don't think I see spelled out specifically...

Try using your bike water bottles during this time to keep yourself hydrated.

I had several difficulties like some of which are posted in this thread. In the end, it worked out for me. I loved nursing my babies. So glad it did.

But... trying to figure out how to remember to drink enough MYSELF was hard in the stress of mom-hood. I would fill up "my own" bottles in the frig w/H2O ahead of time. Everytime I picked the kid up to the breast, I grabbed a bike water bottle outta the frig and made a point to keep sipping my own drink as much as the baby did.

Just a thought:).
