Hi there

Firstly let me just say I think it's great that you've made the decision to breastfeed - that is half the battle. As Tigerseye said, it won't necessarily be a problem but it's good to be aware of what can happen and think about how you will handle different issues. I won't repeat the info on ABA classes, but they are good... however many hospitals also run breastfeeding classes, so it'd pay to check with yours. I've got a blogspot about Breastfeeding support with lots of stories from different women... there's a post about it in the general forums on here!

But congrats on your pregnancy and good luck with the exciting journey ahead.

RACH!

Hi Annabella. I also wish i'd learnt more about it beforehand. i was talking to someone yesterday and she said she pre-booked a mothercraft nurse for two whole days and that this nurse was just fantastic, helping her with breastfeeding, getting her baby to settle and to sleep etc etc. When she told me i thought i wish i'd done that! I'm currently trying for a second baby and i know this time around i'll book someone in to help me beforehand. When i needed help with my first baby all the lactation consultants were booked out (and when you need help you need it NOW!) and i hadn't heard of mothercraft nurses. This friend explained that mothercraft nurses are better to book than lactation consultants because the nurses help with everything. all the best to you. MissMac.
