What does breastfeeding feel like?
In the early weeks of breastfeeding, the breasts get very full in between feedings while your body learns how much milk the baby needs. At first, it is painful because the breasts are so engorged. This subsides in a few days, though some fullness still occurs for a few weeks. During this time, I described the feeling like scratching an itch. It is also common for nipples to be very sore at first, even with a correct latch. This will get better, too. After your body has regulated your production of breastmilk, you only feel the touch of your baby's mouth. It doesn't hurt or feel strange at all.

What are the discharge plans for postpartum?
HygieneYou may shower and wash your hair at any time. Change your pads frequently and cleanse your self with warm water using your peri-bottle at every change. Remember to wipe yourself from front to back. No douching or internal tampons for 4-6 weeks or as indicated by your physician. Perineal stitches are absorbable and do not need to be removed. If your stitches or hemorrhoids are sore and hurt, take a sitz bath three times a day or discuss with your provider and use perineal wipes on your perineum or hemorrhoids. ConstipationAvoid constipation by eating a well-balanced diet including fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of fluids. Stool softeners or mild laxatives may be used. Family PlanningYour provider may advise that you not have sexual relations for 4-6 weeks. Your period may return 6-8 weeks after delivery unless you are breastfeeding. Some nursing mothers do not menstruate until weaning their baby from the breast; others resume menstruation at various times while nursing. Pregnancy IS possible 4-6 weeks after delivery before you get your period whether you are breastfeeding or not. Breast CareIf breastfeeding, refer to breastfeeding handouts. If not breastfeeding, your breasts may still become full and heavy. Wear a supportive bra. Do not handle your breasts or express milk. If your breasts feel warm, apply ice packs under arms for 20 minutes to decrease discomfort. Exercise/ RestTake frequent rest periods, especially when your baby is sleeping. Avoid lifting anything heavier than the baby for 3-4 weeks. DO NOT start vigorous exercises until approved by your provider. Perineal exercises can be started when you get home.
