Re: Baby essentials, shopping, and registries
Sahar, my mom also couldn't nurse any of us siblings.
I was mashaAllah able to successfully nurse my daughter and did so for 18 months. Just remember that its very very important to condition your nipples all the time with Lanolin cream and air-dry (if possible), also buy nipple shields.... they help a lot as friction against your bra can cause irrirtation and sore nipples. Hot compresses also help with milk let-down and its easier to nurse (just dampen a clean towel and heat it in the microwave, then apply to your breasts right before nursing) And again, do keep numbers of lactation consultants handy.
Good luck :)
