First son ... 2 weeks
Daughter ... 18 months
Oscar ... still bf'ing - will probably just go with the flow (maybe 16months)

Hard work, but very enjoyable! You'll need to try again next time Sarah!!

same here. so far have done 8 and a half months, not bad considering I didn't think I was going to get through the first week (or first 4 months - grr)

Srah, midwives are usually crap at giving good adive regarding breastfeeding. Next time talk to a breastfeeding counseller, they get more training then midwives and health visitors

Ditto. Still bf, will go with the flow and see how I get on throughout the pregnancy. If Ella still wants it then I will probably tandem feed. I love our boobie cuddles

I BF for 3.5 months, i loved it, but found it difficult at first, Charlie had to drink her boobie milk out of a cup at first bless her, it really didnt come natural to either of us, but we i had my heart set on it, so we persevered, and like the others have said, we got there in the end!
Id defo want to do it again.

[Sarah&Braydon]

I breastfed for 3 weeks and expressed combined with breasfeeding for 3 weeks, so 6 weeks altogether

 

[Strangeness]

I breast fed for 3 days. I didn't have any milk and Aaron was starving. When I stopped I never got sore boobs or anything. They didn't leak so I'm guessing it just wasn't meant to be that time. I would try again. I'm glad I did the 3 days because it's all the good stuff in the first few days so he got that.

Hi Sarah

I'm still breastfeeding but when Olivia turned 6 months we introduced one bottle of formula before she goes to bed. She wont take much from the bottle and sometimes refuses it so although I was going to wean her from boob I don't appear to have much choice at the moment!

I'm another one that belongs to the "found it really difficult at the start and nearly gave up when Olivia was 1 wk old, 2 wks old, 3 wks old etc.

I don't think I'll breastfeed beyond a year (when I go back to work). Olivia got teeth at 4 months and have been bitten many times but hoping she'll stop doing that soon!

what made her think that he wasn't getting enough then? Sorry but it really is a big bugbear of mine, the crap support and ill informed advice out there *climbs down from soapbox*

 

[Strangeness]

I don't think anyone who has breast fed would ever say it was really easy at the beginning. It was hard work for me and I only did it 3 days. Learning to latch a baby on properly takes time and seen as I have huge boobs I had to watch my positioning so I didn't cover his face but also didn't stop milk flow.

 

[Duds]

I BF for 11 weeks in total, Aimee made it very easy for me & didnt really have any probs with latching on etc, I wanted to go til 3 months but had few probs with not producing enough milk so she was feeding all evening and it drained me and I found it very unenjoyable & stressful so I decided to give up - she also started to teethe at 8 weeks which put me right off!
Im glad I did BF and I would again but I found it very restricting as Im not one to get my baps out in public as got too embarrassed.
