You owe it to your baby, ok I admit it's blummen painful to start with but,hey, if you just went thru labour it's nothing in comparison.

Unfortunately not eveyone is able to breast feed, even if they want to. I gave it my all but because Siobhan had a tounge tie she couldn't latch on properly, she lost a full 1lb in a matter of days. We had to go back into hospital, the midwifes made me feel that bad i felt compelled to attend breast feeding classes even though the teacher told them there was no point as I was doing everything correctly.
I persevered with trying to breast feed for 6 weeks but also had to bottle feed to top her up.
We did try our absolute best and Siobhan did get as much of mummy's milk as we could give her but don't feel bad if you can't as many people from accyweb will tell you she will steal your hearts and is a picture of health and energy.
