I'm sick :( Here's a great view of a good latch for a toddler. She's even talking to you all. Can you understand any of it? LOL! This is what a typical nurse session looks like when extended nursing. It's calm sweet and peaceful; even silly! :)
I am 6 months pregnant, and am looking for breastfeeding resources online. Before becoming pregnant, I wore a 34J bra, which changed to a 36M within 6 weeks and has held steady there for the pregnancy. Most of the advice I can find online for breastfeeding with large breasts is for DD+ cups - but my breasts are as big as a newborn, and I am very concerned about things like smothering, comfort, efficiency, etc. Do you know of good resources? Thank you!
The number one most important thing for you is going to be finding well fitting nursing bras.
As far as breastfeeding itself goes, don’t worry about smothering your baby. It doesn’t happen. Babies are obligate nose breathers - they only know how to breathe through their nose. Noses are shaped just right in order to give babies enough space to breathe, even if it looks like they’re super smooshed up against a breast. See figure A, below:
That baby can breathe fine. You can't really see it well, but the flare of baby's nostrils is just right to leave a crack of space for breathing.
Here are more photos of good baby latch:
The only time that accidentally smothering your baby becomes a risk is if you fall asleep while breastfeeding your baby in an unsafe space. For example, sitting up on the couch where the baby could fall down and get wedged between pillows, or if you're intoxicated or tired enough that you wouldn't wake up to an alarm. Those are dangerous moments. Always make sure your baby is safe before giving in to the urge to fall asleep while breastfeeding.
As far as comfort for you goes - breastfeeding itself won't be painful - like I said above the most important thing to get is bras that fit you correctly. Go to a store that measures and sizes bras, hopefully one especially for pregnant and breastfeeding parents. They'll know best how to help you out.
Side note on bras - no underwires. None. Just don't do it.
