Hello ladies
I BF my DS now 18months for 5 months. Everyday I cried with pain, suffered PND, cracked nipples, 3 episodes of mastitis, a cyst and 10 days of pumping whilst my DS was in hospital being tude feed after an infection. We had a horribe trip to A&E at 1 week old as he throw up blood, from me......he was dyhydrated and we had to stay over night. So to put it mildly it was hellish!
I kept feeding as I felt under pressure to do it, my mum was very very straight with me that she would be very disappointed etc if I stopped.
In the end I started soilds slightly early and then switched to formualar towards the end of 5 months.
I am now pregnant again and have all the worries about having a 2 year old and a newborn with this huge fear hanging over my head about feeding.
I went to LOADS of feeding classes last time, my this time I won't have the time as I will have my DS too.
HELP!! I want to enjoy things this time.
