Did/Do you breastfed your baby? I breastfed both of my girls - but I had to supplement with formula because I didn't have enough milk. It took several doctors and laction specialists to finally realize that some women, although it is RARE, do have low milk production. The most important thing that I wanted to give them was the colossum during the first few days after birth.
Did it hurt? Since, I heard from some women saying that it's pretty hurt a bit when breastfed. If you do it right (meaning the baby is latching on properly) it should not hurt you. If you hurt, try readjusting the position and help the baby latch on properly. If your milk is full, your breasts will felel full and it will be uncomfortable. (use cold cabbage leaves on it - it helped me!)
How long breastfed?(For women who used to breastfed to) 6 weeks - I wanted to go longer but it was too hard for me with going back to work and trying to find a time to pump, etc. Looking back, I wished I tried to go for at least 4 months.
Did/do you feel comfortable to breastfed? Loved it... I miss nursing more than anything.
Did/do you breastfed in public? Yes - the kid's gotta eat
Was you breastfed by your mom? No. It was considered "dirty"
