I am so suprised that breastfeeding has been so easy for me so far!
I come from a family where no-one breastfed, and all I ever saw growing up was ff. Then, throughout my pregnancy I heard so many stories of problems with breastfeeding.
So, during my pregnancy, I joined the ABA, went to a workshop and read up on it. I was expecting it to be hard and painful, and very problematic.... but it is going really well! Don't get me wrong, the first few days were a little akward and my nipples were pretty sore, but armed with knowledge I knew how to help it.
I never thought I would say this, but I really enjoy it! It's a great time where I can gaze at my daughter and tell her how much I love her :hugs: ... it's also so nice knowing that she gets all her nutrition from me!
So here is a big :smiliedance: for breastfeeding success!
