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!

Yay! Good for you for getting informed and at least giving it a go, even tho your family have never BF.
It just goes to show that it is an individual thing - some can which is great, some can't even though they really want to, and some don't want to, which is also fine as it is a personal choice which no-one else can decide for us (except perhaps Baby!).

Well done, I'm glad it's going well for you.

Well good on you for joining the ABA before you had the baby! I went to a few meetings as well it helped so much in the early days, I have found it to be easy as well, I truly feel for the women who find it hard! Breastfeeding is wonderful!:smiliedance:
