He’s here & I’m struggling

So I’m gonna offer what worked for us although it may not be the right advise cause I didn’t have a c section but I did tear a lot and loose a lot of blood with my first. We took pillows and my pregnancy pillow and laid me down and propped my arms up so my son could lay on my chest all night. I just wrapped my arms around him and we did skin to skin so he was less slippery and that was how we were able to sleep. Eventually that transitioned into using the bedside bassinet to nurse and then slide him back over to his sleep space but obviously that was when my milk came in to do that.

All 4 of mine have been pacifier babies and i introduced them by day 2 and it never created any issues with latching or breastfeeding. I specifically like the mam pacifiers because they have newborn ones that are really small and light weight that seem easier to keep in their tiny mouths without help.
The only one of mine to have problems with latching and ultimately ended up on all bottles was my second he had a brief nicu stay and because of that was on donor milk until my milk came in and that seemed to put us at a much harder disadvantage than all three of my others who i was able to start breastfeeding immediately after birth. It took me a while to accept that bottle feeding was going to our journey because i desired to breastfeed like my first baby but what he needed is ofc more important than what i wanted. I ultimately pumped for him for 6 months and then switched to exclusively formula feeding him because my supply slowly decreased throughout the months.
