I have just read my friend Sharon's e.book on breastfeeding which is brilliant. It is like a little hand book of all you need to know and there is a picture of me in it!! (Didn't know that ).

Costs £3.25 to download. Ghosty - definately get it because it shows the 12lb 2oz baby I told you about

Can you get it in book shops? Would rather have something I can sit down and read.

I still feel really guilty that I gave up on breastfeeding at only 10 days (21 months later) and I am really determined to make it work this time.

Actually mears, we have a really nice NHS breastfeeding counsellor here who was great with DS - but I think was referred too late. Do you think it would be worth contacting her before baby number 2 is born to discuss what might have gone wrong last time and how I can make a success of it right from the start?

Absolutely is worth contacting her before the birth then you will be more prepared. The e. book isn't too big so you can print it off. It is actually really easy to read on the computer though.

Ooooooh Mears! A thread with my name on it ... what a buzz!!!
Thanks honey ... I am dying to have a look but for some reason the page can't be displayed ... any ideas why??
PS ... at 2 am this morning I was probably up and having a wee! And I was in a strop with DH cos he had got a bit pissed with my dad and I had a go about how was he going to get me to the hospital if I went into labour then!! Huge jokes were made about getting taxis etc so I had a sense of humour failure!!
Anyhoo ... why can't I open this page ...??

Evita · 26/01/2004 21:43

bunnyrabbit · 26/01/2004 22:14

Me neither.... Mears, can you still get to this??

It's called Breastfeeding by Sharon Trotter and it is scrolling up the right hand side of the page. I can reassure you that it is a secure server as well. Costs £3.25 to download.

The site is definately working today - please someone download Sharon's book so that I can let her know what you think

Bit late for me (past all that now, b/f all 3 to varying extents and with varying success), but was interested to have a look anyhow.

The Synopsis and Sample look good - I think she is on to a winner here. If only more such 'real' and 'down-to-earth' information, help and support were made available to all new mums, b/f would no doubt be seen in a far different light. Yes, there are various support groups available (and mums should indeed seek their help as required) and, in my experience, hospitals are 'trying' a bit harder nowadays, but it is sensible, practical, experience based support (like this book looks as if it will provide) that is sadly lacking but undoubtedly essential.

Good wishes to your friend, mears, and best of luck to all would be b/f mums.

Oops, meant to clarify, the support groups etc are a good thing but sometimes just being able to pick up an easy to read book that is always close to hand and can be read and re-read, just somehow, can be the encouragement that is needed and there at those awkward times (eg middle of night) when you might not feel like disturbing a counsellor (bit like having your own, private one 'on tap'.
