on breastfeeding

[sismith42]

A while back, I promised to whinge about breastfeeding, then ran out of time to write it up... we've been at it for 5+ weeks now, and it looks like I've settled into it

I completely agree with you. Just about everything involved in taking care of a newborn seems to get downplayed to the point where many new mothers feel they must be doing something wrong because it does not come naturally. At least you have a good milk supply, I had to supplement Keiran with formula because I do not make enough milk no matter what I try. She also gets very frustrated with the slow flow so I pump and bottle feed that milk to her. Keep up the good work.

Hope you don't include me in the "everyone" group 'cos I don't think I tried to downplay how hard it would be. I've been really impressed with you sticking to it because I won't be able to know what it's like to breastfeed, not in this life anyway.
