Just thought I'd make a thread to hear all about the positive breastfeeding stories. I'll go first.
With my first he ended up having tongue tie so it was very painful for me. I would bleed. Was really sore. Literally brought me to tears. Was such a relief when I got the tie cut. It still hurt for a bit but wasn't as pain full. I had to use formula for a bit just to give my nips a break. But didn't use it for too long and breastfeeding was easy once it stopped hurting and still feeding him now at nearly 22 months. Just wish knew how hard it was going to be. Wasn't easy at all in the beginning. Thank god my friend warned me about the boob job boobs. My god they hurt. Wasn't expecting them to hurt that bad. Why doesn't it get taught in schools. Something needs to change as well as the support. Needs to be way more support.
Now with my second I kept getting told it probably won't work and get formula. Didn't need formula and happy to say that's she's 💯 on just breastmilk. I haven't got anything against formula at all. I'm just glad she's been sorely fed by me.
I just want to say sorry to all those that it didn't work out for, that you should have got the support. You're all still amazing mams. How babas are fed, doesn't take away that.❤️ 😊
Anyone else want to share their story?
