Re: Biggest Scare Since Your Baby Was Born?
My biggest scare with my first baby was when I realized that I can't force him to breastfeed. When he was born, he wasn't able to feed on my breasts because he just can't hold the nipples and since he was my first baby, I think he wasn't able to extract milk from my breasts. He was crying a lot, he found it hard to feed and he was already very hungry. So what the nurse did was to give him a bottle of milk. That was the start of my fear, I tried very hard to make him feed on my breasts but he was just so smart to lick my nipples first before he gives in and young as he is, he knows if they are my breasts or the bottle and he just won't breastfeed. I was sad and I gave up when my mother in law realized that the baby can't breastfeed because my nipples were very flat.
