You have been visiting your best friend to offer your support and assistance with their new firstborn baby. For weeks, you have been helping your friend take care of their precious little one. However, there is one aspect that you cannot assist them with, breastfeeding time.
Pain and Discomfort
Your friend has asked you if the pain and discomfort they are feeling when breastfeeding their child is normal. During the first few days, breasts can feel painful and uncomfortable as milk production will increase. Frequent nursing or pumping every two to three hours is encouraged to prevent symptoms associated with engorgement. Engorgement occurs when milk is not fully removed from the breast, causing the breasts to be extremely swollen, sore, and painful. To further prevent engorgement and be part of the boobment of a supportive circle of friends, advise them to apply a warm compress while manually expressing the milk from the breast.
Smooth Sailing
Perhaps your best friend has followed your advice, and with great results. It is smooth sailing from here and beyond. Congratulate your friend and yourself as you both will be part of the boobment of motherhood. You should also continue to offer words of encouragement to keep your best friend inspired and motivated. It will also provide a positive environment for both the mother and child as they strengthen their bond while the newborn receives essential nutrients to grow to be a healthy and happy baby.
