I can remember vividly how sad I felt when I stopped breastfeeding and knew I was unlikely to do it again.Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-9270723723760262212007-08-25T21:37:00.000+01:002007-08-25T21:37:00.000+01:00I found it really hard going at first, I wasn't re...I found it really hard going at first, I wasn't really prepared for how much breastfeeding would tie me down and the pain of those first couple of weeks - ouchy! I was fortunate to have supportive people around me and I'm very glad I stuck it out. However I was lucky that Sorley never had any problems latching on or feeding. It's such a big responsibility being the sole source of your baby's nourishment, it can be quite a lonely experience in the early days.Marion McCreadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657757253873577465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-29004175725505953642007-08-25T14:26:00.000+01:002007-08-25T14:26:00.000+01:00Wish I'd known all that 16 months ago when I was l...Wish I'd known all that 16 months ago when I was learning how to breastfeed. Congratulations on the arrival of your grandchild. What lovely news. <BR/><BR/>My mum says it's changed her life, having a grandaughter to love and adore. The two of them are already real partners in crime. They have jaunts to the local duck pond together and get up to all sorts of wheezes. It's been fantastic for me to have my mum nearby - and been a huge bond between us that we both love Beanie so much. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy this lovely time, and congratulations again.Motheratlargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966796093998468770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-70043522948108494112007-08-24T23:09:00.000+01:002007-08-24T23:09:00.000+01:00Perhaps I should point you and yours in the direct...Perhaps I should point you and yours in the direction of a whole bunch of entertaining/sympathetic blogs about parenting/breastfeeding & associated matters.
