I had planned on breastfeeding DS but was slightly nervous as I hadn't with the other two and wasn't sure what to do.
He was born on Sunday after a 2 hour labour. We were both a bit zoned out on pethidine and I decided to bottle feed him. My milk came in yesterday and I'm tempted to try breastfeeding but I don't know if its too late.
He doesn't seem to be doing too well on formula. He's being quite sick after every feed and is screaming for ages.
I don't know how to try breastfeeding him- how to position him or anything. I'm also slightly nervous about the pain. The GP said if I want to do it I have to start now before my milk dries up but I don't know how!
