breast feeding

[JadeD90]

So im only 16+6 and have a while to go until i meet my baby.. But one thing i constantly kick myself for is not conquering the breast feeding thing with my first, so im hoping to give it another go this time round.

With my daughter, she wasnt latching on properly = not gettin enough milk, and causing me so much pain it was unreal - a light bulb came on in my head, and i thought 'why am i doing this to myself?! Hand me a bottle NOW!' so i bottle fed from then on. Expressing milk at this point was also like torture.

So feeling like i failed first time, hopefully i can crack it this time. But without measurements of formula milk, and no set routine to begin with, im like.. How will i know if baby is getting enough? What if he/she is having to much? With the help of nipple sheilds (lol) i hope i dont experience the same problems again.. Anyone else breast feeding out there?? :)
