My boobs are covered in large stretch blue and purple stretch marks.   its something i can live with but i cant live with the burning feeling! ive tried cocoa butter and it doesnt help, almost seems to make it worse. what have tried to make he burning feeling go away.

Try Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

I know another Mom, it took 6 days for her milk to come in. It will happen. This is a day later so maybe you're milk already came in.

Mine took a week to come in with my first and about 4 days to come in with my 2nd (both Csec). you can still BF. I didn't supplement during that time and they were fine. just keep putting them to the breast. their tummies are super super tiny. like the size of a marble when they are born, so the colostrum is all they need.

Any mommas nursing toddlers feel like they're still constantly snacking? My DS is 23 months and I remember doing so when DS was smaller but I feel like I'm still snacking -- like I get hungry after he has a 6-10 minute nurse lol. I hope I make sense.
