There is an increase
in initial breastfeeding; however, the rates drop off dramatically as infants age and women return to work.
Objective: The objective was to examine the influence of
initial breastfeeding on type 2 diabetes and blood glucose and insulin concentrations.
If you received an epidural, there's some evidence that it can
make initial breastfeeding a little more difficult as well, though no differences were noted even at 6 weeks... as long as the mom didn't give up or supplement.
By this time your postpartum bleeding will be finished or very close to being finished, you and your baby will be past
most initial breastfeeding challenges, and your baby will still be small and cuddly enough to be content in your arms or laying in a shady, quiet spot.

Oh yes,
the initial breastfeeding pains of breastfeeding is rough!
I will help with
the initial breastfeeding as needed.
In
those initial breastfeeding moments, I definitely could have used someone to tell me all the things my body was doing right, all the things that are so incredible about breastfeeding, and all the things I was providing for my son.
You and your partner are left undisturbed for an hour to enjoy your new baby, who has now imprinted the proper breastfeeding behaviors thanks to
this initial breastfeeding.
Give yourselves plenty of time to recuperate from labor and birth, develop a daily routine, and overcome
any initial breastfeeding difficulties.
Lastly, once your family reaches
your initial breastfeeding goal, you all have something to celebrate together, plus you may just decide to extend that goal a little bit further if things are going really well for all of you.
My initial breastfeeding goal was 14 months — until a year after my son's due date — but recently I mentioned to my husband that I would like to go longer.
I empathize w / you about
that initial breastfeeding pain.
