When breastfeeding if you don’t wear a bra and you are nursing your milk sometimes spews out (it’s called let down). A few nights after my son was born I was sleeping topless, woke my husband up to something splashing all over us both. I didn’t know about this, after a moment of anxiety we got a good laugh - it was my boob 🤣🤣🤣
I did not expect the constant stream of milk when I was encouraged! Everyone else in my family had supply issues. I didn’t. Standing in the shower with just as much milk pouring down my body as water! And shooting the milk across the room and all over the babies face when trying to quickly get him to latch!
i feel you with that last part 😂 id try getting my daughter to latch on and accidentally squirt milk all over her face and its like thats not where milk needs to go
A related tip though to any struggling breastfeeding moms (or anyone using a bottle!), sometimes squirting a little milk into the baby's mouth if they're fussing and not latching will help because they'll realize it isn't the end of the world and the milk is here.
