I breast fed 8 babies. One of nine I didn't. He is the only child I don't have a really close bond with.
I dealt with a few of the normal problems. but they were all easily handled and I found it was well worth any discomfort I encountered. All of my children have been extremely healthy. Other than injuries, we didn't have many extra doctor visits. 2 had ther appendix removed when they were older. they all have great teeth. I never did. They are all good parents and believe in close family connection. (all but the three who aren't parents yet) I attribute much of this good fortune to breast feeding. |

Breast feeding sometimes hurt. You have to learn, and the baby has to learn how the baby should be latched on. If they baby latches on incorrectly then it hurts. But I had a lactation nurse help guide me to learn the best ways of breastfeeding. It is always best to breastfeed. |

Did/Do you breastfed your baby? Yes, I am currently breastfeeding Avery; but I did not breastfeed my other two children. I will definately breastfeed any other children that we have.
Did it hurt? Since, I heard from some women saying that it's pretty hurt a bit when breastfed.The first 3 weeks it DID hurt. But after that, I don't even notice it. It's something that you -as well as the baby- have to learn, and get used to..and make sure the latch is correct. She is 10 weeks old now, and I have enjoyed it for almost the entire time. How long breastfed?(For women who used to breastfed to)Right now we are going on 11 weeks of exclusively breastfeeding. I plan to continue as long as we are both happy breastfeeding, I would love to make it to 1yr. Did/do you feel comfortable to breastfed? Yes. I use the lying down position at night, and so when she wakes up to nurse, I just latch her on, and we both go back to sleep! It is awesome. Did/do you breastfed in public? Yes. I have breastfed in public since the DAY we came home from the hospital-litterally. I have never had any problems doing it, I am just feeding my baby so there is no issue for me doing so. Was you breastfed by your mom? Yes I was, though I am not sure for how long.

Questions;
Did/Do you breastfed your baby? With my first son, I didn't breastfeed him but however, I did breastfeed my 2nd son. Did it hurt? It only hurts when the breast was full of milk. Other than that, it wasn't too bad. How long breastfed? Until he was 1 year old Did/do you feel comfortable to breastfed? At first, It felt weird and awkward but after a while, I got used to it. It takes time to get the hang of it. Did/do you breastfed in public? Yes, Of course I used a baby blanket for privacy. Was you breastfed by your mom? No, I wasn't. |

My sister breastfed 5 children with no problems at all but as they grew up, they all had colds/flu and was ill a lot of the time. Whereas I couldn't breastfeed mine and they had very few sicknesses while growing up. Go figure.

The natural antibodies in the breast milk is passed on to the baby. and YES it helps prevent colds. Makes the baby stronger to fight against illnesses.
Less allergies due to the baby is not being exposed to COW milk, Lactose at a such young age. |

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" |

I was breastfed yes but my sister hardly was since my mom was too busy with her job and etc and my brother not very often so I was told that i was breastfed the most could explain why I love milk so much. <.< so I just heard that breastfeeding can help bring better nutrion (sp) system into the baby than with regular or forumal milk can. But its usually only an option on all mothers when it comes to feeding the child anyway.

I didn't breastfeed my babies, I wish I did because I was told that breastfed babies did not have ear infections as much as the ones who didn't and breastfeeding also cuts down on risk of breast cancer.

Did/Do you breastfed your baby? Yes, both girls.
Did it hurt? Not at all except for a spell of inflammation on my left breast. How long breastfed? With my first one, 15.5 months, she weaned herself. my second one, still... not as much as before. She is starting to wean herself also. Did/do you feel comfortable to breastfed? yes, although I do like privacy in a public area Did/do you breastfed in public? Yes, with blanket or find a discreet place. Was you breastfed by your mom? no She said she would if it was the thing to do back then.

Thank you, everybody.
It's very interesting to learn something about breastfeeding since Im thinking about to breastfed to my baby once she born. Let's see if I could since Im not start leaking yet or even my breasts isnt making any of changes yet. Doctor says, wait until birth baby first and see how it's going on. I hope I can breastfed since I want to. And, you can post more to share about breastfed that I would like to hear. =) |
