Milk is an important source of nutrients that you and your family shouldn’t miss out on. If someone in your family has lactose intolerance and the rest of the family still want to enjoy the taste of real milk, try Lactofree - the UK’s first virtually lactose-free dairy drink.
It's like the M25. When it was built it could take the number of cars on it, but as there became more demand for it, there were traffic jams and people became frustrated.
Eventually the government was forced into widening the lanes so that more traffic could flow.
If you didn't have a period of frustration at the slow flow of traffic, and people got the train instead, the goverment wouldn't have widened the lanes.
So, - you have to go through a short period of frustration before it is fixed!
I like the ice skating one, read on Mumsnet By harpsichordcarrier on Tue 22-Apr-08 23:37:12 it was a client of mine who got me thinking about it. she said learning to bf is like learning to iceskate. great fun once you get the hang of it but a bit tricky and painful. and so I took it a bit further, and thought yes what we do is we say, you must iceskate, it is really important. here's a book with somep pictures, what do you mean you are tired and bleeding and in pain, get to the ice rink! so what if you have never tried it before or never even seen it before! it's natural. here you go, here's the bus timetable. no, there's no-one to help you sorry! best of luck. and then we wonder why bf rates are so pitifully low.
I have to say that round my way you couldn't move for help with breastfeeding. There were clinics everywhere and a couple of dedicated ones at the hospital every week.
I may be a bit Mary Poppins but I think bf is supported really well, in my area at least.
It is a sad one, but I like the way it shows that breastfeeding for many women is a learnt skill and how problems can be overcome with practice and a good teacher.
My sister (a bfc) uses the following in her classes:
Sometimes all you want is a drink.
Sometimes all you think you want is a drink, but then 10 mintues later you realise you want something to eat.
Sometimes you have a drink and a snack.
Sometimes you have a three course meal, and even when you think you are about to explode, you still manage to fit in a cup of coffee and a mint chocolate or two.
So why should babies be stuck to a rigid routine of feeding?
