Moments like this...

[SaraLouise]

Im sat here bfing & am so happy. I was grumpy that Harrison didn't sleep very long before waking me for a feed, I reluctantly got him up, changed his nappy & sat down ready to feed. I always ask him if "hes ready for milkys" before putting him on the boob, I asked him as normal and he gave me the sweetest gummiest smile you have ever seen! Was so sweet. Put him on the boob & he keep unlatching because he was smiling haha! Little munchkin.

Bfing is the hardest most difficult thing I've done in my life. There having been so many difficulties & so many tears. I can't count the amount of times I've said I'm giving up.. but its moments like this, when he's looking at me with that smile on his face, and I know that me, my milk, is the reason he is doing so well & is such a contented little chap, makes everything worth it.

Aww, your right....it always seems to be the negatives of breastfeeding you see on here. Im not gonna lie....it is so difficult at the beginning but the rewards outweigh the difficult times without a doubt! I used to love the little noises she made when feeding and how she would hold onto my finger. And how she would stare at you when she was feeding....i used to think it was like she was saying thank you mummy n'awwww writing all this makes me miss breastfeeding my little lady xxxx

Ah lovely post!! I've fed all three and it was the thing I was most looking forward to doing again when I was pregnant with my third. It's such a lovely close bonding time and I always loved that I was the only one who could feed them. I was dreading starting solids lol xxx

I couldn't agree more that bfing is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, no one really tells you what to expect bit it is difficult! But it's also very rewarding. I'm 16 weeks in tomorrow and I love bfing my little boy now. It really is true when everyone tells you it gets easier. I struggled up until about 10 weeks but now it's so easy. And now his little personality is coming out it makes most feeds fun. He'll break his latch just to look at me and smile and it just melts my heart.

One of the hardest things I've ever done but I'm glad I stuck it out because now it's one of the best things I've ever done!

The thing that has kept me going was how a friend told me how bonding it was between her and her son. I am so proud of myself for getting so far. I didn't expect to!

I think all ladies who breastfeed or even attempt to before switching deserve a huge pat on the back.

Lovely post hun, I have read the struggles that you have had and you have done brilliantly. There is an arse shaped indent on my new settee from the first few weeks (and even now really) but I wouldnt have it any other way...it is tough but it is just the most amazing thing in the world.

Enjoy every second, because you deserve it - both of you xx

Great post! I couldn't agree more.
When my baby was in nicu and I couldn't feed her I was devastated that I wasn't going to get to breastfeed her. I then planned to express for 6 weeks and then switch to formula. However when I got her home, I kept trying just the breast and it eventually worked! Like you there were so many times I was on the verge of tears and going to give up but I kept going. 7 months on I'm still breastfeeding and still really enjoying it. I intend to do it until I switch her to cows milk.
I'd love to volunteer as a bf counsellor and do a course.

I couldn't agree more with your post! It's the hardest thing ever- we forget its not just us learning to breast feed our babies are too. It's so worth all upset etc in the end, it's such a happy and special thing to be doing. I love it and don't ever want to give up lol xx

Awww booby smiles are the best Saralouise. Havent had them yet with Esmae but can remember them from before n are so cute Bf is such a lovely bond. I love it n it's our special time. I love the way she'll sometimes stare up at me n the little noises she makes while feeding. We are all so lucky ladies that we have this special bonding time with our babbas and should all feel very proud of ourselves xx

Boobie smiles make my heart melt xx
