Just month/thread hopping! So good to hear you're doing well with breastfeeding, despite little man being tongue tied
I am soooo determined to brest feed and all I hear is people saying that I shouldn't count on it and how hard it is and how I might not ever be able to do it.
I appreciate reality, but would also appreciate some positivity from someone other than my husband, my mum and you ladies on the forum! Although at least the two most important people are positive!
So, well done, Lexi, in a non-patronising way. Your little boy is inspiring people already!
That is so unfair of those people you know! Loads of women breastfeed, there was a time when everyone breastfed. Why wouldn't it work for you? I've got nothing against formula, I grew up on formula milk myself, but I hate it when people try to talk you out of breastfeeding. Some women try it and stop quickly because they have difficulties with it, but that's no reason to go and tell others they shouldn't try it!
People who love you should encourage you in your choice...
I'd recommend finding a breastfeeding group where you can get advice and support when needed. It really helped me a lot with my son. Sometimes you think something's wrong and it turns out to be normal, like their weight gain is different from formula fed babies...
Just go for it girl, you can do it!
