| What the members think! | Emmiesmummy Its like having a set of great mates who are always on hand to help with problems give support or just have a good natter too. Being a stay at home mum can sometimes feel lonely & asking your hv for help all the time on feeding makes you feel your doing something wrong & it becomes easier to give up....not anymore everyone here is always ready to offer advice or lend an ear if you need a chat. Its my daily lifesaver..... Gem1981 I can't recommend this website enough. The support from the other girls is wonderful and there is always someone to help - no matter how big or small the problem. Even if I just feel a bit fed up or lonely there is always someone to talk to and my days are alot better knowing I can come on breast buddies and speak to someone if I need to. Can't thank you enough ladies, you're a wonderful bunch!! 
kay I am pregnant with my 3rd child and only managed to breastfeed my last 2 for a few days - mainly down to a lack of knowledge and support. I have joined this forum during pregnancy to get as much advice and support as possible so I can give breast feeding a proper go this time - and i've learnt so much already, and understand why I struggled so much previously. Thankyou to you all - I know I will get through it this time with the support from all of you!

whether youre a first time breastfeeder or not we all need support from time to time, this is the best site around, full of like minded girls for serious support or just a friendly chat!
rhi'smummy There always seems to be someone here with suggestions on how to solve problems or just make life a bit easier. Chat nights are fun too. Mary
ldnug Discovering Breastbuddies has been great - as a breastfeeding mum you can feel so isolated but here you are among friends and like minded people!
Thanks girllies Emma C when i got told i was a bit wary at first, but coming on changed my aspect of what people are like, last night i got some great advice about my sleepy son and its great to hear from so many breastfeeding mums together
Jools I am so glad I got told about this forum! I had absolutely nobody to talk about breastfeeding to at all! I seemed to be the only one breastfeeding at my local baby clinic and there are no support groups in my area! All the girls here are so friendly and certainly know their stuff when it comes to breastfeeding! If I ever have a problem or question I know I don't have to worry as there will always be someone here to offer great advice! Thanks ladies!

| | Protect me, protect my baby - breastfeeding picnic 20/07/09 | Thu Apr 09, 2009 11:09 am by Drusilla | For you Facebook people
Morgan Gallagher's blog
Last year (for those of you not in the know) Morgan, who champions infant feeding rights and has intervened at Yarl's Wood Detention centre when breastfed babies had been forcibly separated from their mothers, has organised another breastfeeding picnic this year, following on from the success of last years.
She has also done another petition with regards to legislation protecting infant feeding here which I urge you all to sign - it will be presented to Downing Street on the day of the picnic.
Please attend ...

| I know people must disbelieve me but... | Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:46 pm by Squiglet | I know people in the UK must disbelieve me when I say that I have been offered formula samples as a breastfeeding mother...but now I have evidence to prove that its very common here...

This is a free formula sample attached to a famous baby magazine here in Spain. Oh yes.... well done Spain on your promotion of breastfeeding over formula!!!!

| What is she doing??? | Tue Jun 02, 2009 10:32 am by gem1981 | Daisy hasnt left my boobs alone for the past 24 - 48 hours. She comes for a feed, spends around 30 seconds on one boob and then screams till I get the other one out, then she feeds for another 30 secs and back to the original one. Etc, etc. This results in me being sat with both boobs out most of the time, which isnt a big problem in the house, but going out will be.
Any ideas why she's doing this?

| Struggling :o( | Sun May 31, 2009 12:52 am by kay | As hard as it is for me to admit, I am really struggling feeding at the moment
Corey is feeding non stop, and wants me just 'because he can'. I am sooo sore, and he is grazing and biting a lot.
He still feeds several times a night, and will only go to sleep on my boob, he screams if i go out of sight, and is constantlt hanging off my legs. Im just exhausted and really need a break.
I managed to get for a couple of hours the other week, but called back because he wouldnt stop screaming when he woke up.
I dont nesseccarily want to stop, and i dont...
