My mother laughed in my face when I said I was going to breastfeed DC3.

Am a bit hurt and also .

Not entirely sure why she's surprised, I bf DS and DD (although not for as long as I would have liked with DD).

Anyway her reason for laughing was that "I'm delusional if I think I can breastfeed with 2 preschoolers in the house".

She didn't breastfeed me or my brother and has always been a bit funny about me doing it for some reason.

How hard is it? See.. she's already managed to plant the seed of doubt in my mind! .

Huh? She has ishoos of her own I think.

I managed bfing my third (to the age of two) with a 4yo and 2 yo as well. I cannot imagine having had to spare the time to make up bottles. Pulling up me top and plugging her on took seconds and feeding could be done on the run, unlike bottle feeding for which you need two hands. You'll be fine I'm sure. You've done it before.

Winky- I don't know your individual children, but I had similar problems with my oldest child being very jealous of the second. When the third was born, they both united in loving her and trying to "look after" and entertain her. Was very sweet and actually a lot easier than before #3 was born from that point of view (although obv more work)

My mum bf 6 children, with 2 yr age gaps, so lots of toddlers/young children around while bf. Never seemed to be a problem.

I only managed to bf dd for a couple of months, but it was no problem, and much easier to have a hand free.

You'll be fine! I breastfed ds3 with a 3 year old and an 18month old.
Ah those were the days - I actually got to sit down once in a while
