To breastfeed or not to breastfeed

[YummyMummyOf2]

Hi all - I have had my little baby girl ... and am feeding her myself, and doing really well ... i have loads of milk, and she is doing well on it ...
I spoke to the midwifes whilst i was in hospital, and they adviced me to demand feed at night for the first few days, until we both got into a routine of every few hours. our 1st two nights were difficult and not alot of sleep was had by any of us! last night was brill .. we slept between feeds, so were hoping for the same again tonight, and hopfully were getting into a routine.
I didnt like feeding my eldest ... this time, i am quite enjoying it, but i think that is because of the great advice i got from the midwives whilst i was in hospital ...
I am going to go for as long as i can, review the situation around christmas time and see how i feel and how i am getting on.
I feel proud of my self, and the husband feels proud of me too, as i am doing well with it all

As a mother, i want to say " More breastfeeding is really good for the baby."

Good luck!

I'm so glad to see all the positive aspects of breast feeding. Unfortunately, here in the states, it's really kind of hard to find a place to find for breast feeding. Most businesses don't have proper facilities, i.e. a nursing room. Especially eating establishments. I have heard that many larger places are putting in nursing rooms for employees, but what about the customers. Given the number of women that are possibly nursing, you'd think that major malls and shopping centers would put nursing rooms in to attract those customers and advertise that fact. There is the increased business to offset the construction costs. All nursing women should ask not only their employers and their favorite shopping area to put a nursing center in. Best of luck in the future....
