I have a 4,5,6yr old and pregnant with our fourth. I FF the others for which I have feel guilty and have decided to try to BF this time. Oddly none of my family, dh's family or many close friends have BF and I think this was one of the primary reasons I decided not to with the others ( the awkwardness of feeding the first grandchild in front of father in law and brothers etc...seems silly now, but was a concern for me at the time.......that said I'd still feel uneasy feeding with them around but would be fine in public) anyhow....my Q is: am I crazy to be even contemplating BF when it's all new? Dh will be off work for only a week, and when the baby is 2wks I will actually have six kids in my care. I keep reading suggestions of making a 'cosy spot' for the day and let baby feed when people have posted about cluster feeds etc but I know I WILL not be able to sit all day :( if only!! Obviously I'll have help...I guess I'm just worried I won't have help at the times I need it
