Hi
Ok final few requests for stuff for the next mumsnet book on pregnancy - I promise! Although it's essentially a pregnancy book we've decided to include a few threads on feeding - breast and bottle - and although I'm sure the advice I need is buried in the site somewhere, there's just so much I thought it might be easier to start again!
So if you can cast your minds back to those first fearful days (and remember most folks reading the book will still be pregnant) - what tips/advice/hints would have helped you most when you were starting out breastfeeding?
I'm also putting requests for advice from those who chose not to breastfeed and for those who had particular breastfeeding problems, so please look out for those.
FWIW I wish someone had said to me:
get a counsellor to visit as soon as possible to check positioning
and
it will hurt like hell, but it will get better..
Thanks in advance
