Breast feeding xan be hard at first and painful but once you gwt past it its no big deal. I breastfed my first and plan to breastfeed this one as well. I highly suggest buying lanolin cream. Its safe for the baby so put it on your nupples before and after you nurse. It will make a huge difference with pain. Also make sure baby is latched on correctly. Good luck!

My two year old just turned two January 14th and I stopped breast feeding him on January 16th, Plan on to breast feed this one for at least a year. It was hard to wean my toddler and I don't want to go through that again, I must admit the bond is amazing.

If it makes you feel any better, it took me until my first was four months before I really got comfortable with it. But beware, your nipples get really sore. Lanolin helps, and so does some of your own milk, but to really make a difference, get some help the first couple times to make sure the latch is right.

I am going to give it another try this time around. I wasn't able to produce enough milk the first time and I felt so bad, but I definitely want to try again!!

I plan to!  Did for over a year with my first! I love that it is the one thing mommy can provide that no one else can.  Plus the excuse to sit down and snuggle is awesome!

Yep, I'm going to! You can take classes, also look into if your community has a breast feeding support group. Good luck!

I also has an emergency c-section with my first but for me breast feeding came easy. I never had any pain or trouble. Plan on breast feeding my second. I know a lot of people who did have trouble though. Everyone is different.  Best of luck

Yes I am. I was so excited to with my first, I took a breastfeeding class and everything. Then labor time came and I got rushed into an emergency c section which changed everything. I was in so much pain from that and then breastfeeding,  which is painful at first, was too much so I gave up about a week. I totally regret it! Everyone says  give it 2 weeks and everything will be fine after that so that's what I am going to do!
