For the third time in as many weeks I have gone to visit a friend with a newborn. Each of them had a go at bf, but all them had given up by day 5 because they 'couldn't do it' :-(. One friend in particular was so determined to do it, she asked me about it all the time during her pregnancy but it hasn't worked for her and it makes me feel so sad for her.
I just don't know where we are going wrong in this country where so many women want to bf and don't end up doing it. I bf my son til 18 mo and I honestly think it was one of the bet things I have ever done in my life. I feel sad that other people miss out on it.
So What can I do? I would live to train as a bf peer supporter or something but I work full time. I really feel like I need to channel my feelings about this!
