While I was pregnant, people would tell me to expect it to be a challenge. I just never knew *why*...so I was sharing my experience!<br /><br />Thanks for reading ladies!Kaylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687217638729227801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034341641525388707.post-19554978216056251372011-11-04T18:27:28.425-05:002011-11-04T18:27:28.425-05:00I truly appreciate you sharing your experience wit...I truly appreciate you sharing your experience with bfeeding! I am hoping to ebf when I give birth, so while this sort of scared me, it also encouraged me!<br /><br />I'd love it if you'd participate! http://angelasfavthings.blogspot.com/2011/11/30-days-of-thankfulness.html<br /><br />xo,<br />AAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363936268951050838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034341641525388707.post-41094546713278720692011-11-04T15:52:03.760-05:002011-11-04T15:52:03.760-05:00Amen on the Soothies pads.

Turns out he was tongue tied and that was destroying my nipples. He had a little surgery and we battled back with the help of an in home visit from our LC. Breastfeeding is the hardest thing I've ever done but now our babe is 5 months old and we are still going strong. Thanks for sharing your story. It is such an encouragement to hear from other mamas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549291808556569603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034341641525388707.post-23951927636037383922011-11-04T07:52:31.171-05:002011-11-04T07:52:31.171-05:00I have been very excited about breastfeeding for m...I have been very excited about breastfeeding for months, so I don't think it's weird at all to say you were excited about breastfeeding! I'm giving birth at a birth center and they push breastfeeding (we actually attended to required breastfeeding class last night), so I know I won't have to worry about people suggesting I supplement or use bottles. However, most women are sent home 6 hrs after birth, so we also don't have the same access to lactation consultants, although I can call anytime for support. <br /><br />I've read several books about breastfeeding, but to be honest, I don't know how much they will help because every woman is different - except as a quick reference to look things up if I'm having problems. <br /><br />That's incredible how hard you worked to make sure breastfeeding worked for the two of you. You should be so proud!Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.com
