I really appreciate this post and wish that all new moms would read something like this. Breastfeeding can be really hard, but it is so worth it. I ended up pumping for 9 months for my first preemie because I was more concerned with her getting food than fighting with breastfeeding because we were having such a hard time. My 2nd little one and I have worked really hard, but it took 2 months to get really good at it. I am so glad I stuck with it and got lots of help. I went to a lactation consultant 4 times after we left the hospital. I also asked every friend and asked for a lot of prayer. Now it is so easy and I am so thankful I am not pumping this time. It's a hard mind battle, but with some time, prayer, and lot of hardwork nursing can become natural and enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share your heart.The Andlershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804667604784232149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498365137661845332.post-1019702846475546552011-06-12T13:46:34.569-05:002011-06-12T13:46:34.569-05:00I would just add...ask for help if you need it! A...I would just add...ask for help if you need it! A lactation consultant can give such valuable instruction...so much more than just words on the page of a book. I was lucky with my 2 boys that they were healthy and good nursers, but not all babies are. And professional help can really go a long way for those who REALLY want breastfeeding to work.The Rohman Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018877955243265808noreply@blogger.com
