I am able to make the choice rather than wish things had been different.MissBudgetBeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070044327895385433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950710392389185357.post-52923440687123217382011-08-27T17:12:21.005-07:002011-08-27T17:12:21.005-07:00I'm so sorry that you had such a negative expe...I'm so sorry that you had such a negative experience with your first 'try'.<br />I fed both my children and I have one inverted nipple. I was fortunate to have brilliant help from a bunch of very patient, expert midwives with my first child. <br />The previous commenter mentioned 'latching on', and she's quite right. It does take a bit of practice, but once you both get the hang of it, well, off you go.<br />I do hope you try again. I could reassure you over every one of your list of concerns.<br />(I can say that babies sleep very well if you've had a glass or two of wine.) :-O *slapswrist*<br />I hope you have a better midwifery team this time round. Whatever you decide, good luck and all the best!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732764461763797133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950710392389185357.post-86789824983752060832011-08-27T16:42:15.237-07:002011-08-27T16:42:15.237-07:00I am all for breastfeeding but never down a woman&...I am all for breastfeeding but never down a woman's choice or inability to. With our first son I wanted so badly to breastfeed but he simply could not latch on and my milk would not come in. After 7 long crying filled frustrating weeks of trying to he ended up being bottle fed. With our second son it was a completely different experience he was born looking for something to latch onto. I remember getting stitched up after my c-section and hubby holding him and he kept nusling in his dads chests trying to find milk. To this day 32 months after his birth he is still nursing even with my flat nipples. <br />What you chose to do is completely your choice however with the experience and knowledge I have obtained after my struggles and success I'd like to comment on some of your reasons for not liking it. <br />1) you can tell how much your child is getting not by an ounce on a bottle but by how many times they are wetting themselves.<br />2)The family gets to bond with the baby just in different ways<br />3)After the first few weeks you can easily transition to bottle/pump and get the break allowing others to feed the baby while you rest.<br />4)The pain comes from improper latch and encouragement from not expressing milk either with a pump or nursing your baby. Nursing in itself should never be painful if it is the latch is incorrect.<br /><br />It's breastfeeding not nipple feeding :)<br /><br />Please don't think I am bashing your feelings on the subject or trying to make you feel bad. I simply wanted to give you my experience and maybe let you know something someone might not have told you before. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and with which ever decision on breastfeeding you decide is best for you and your bundle of joy.LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396811790577635180noreply@blogger.com
