Breast Buddies Natural Parenting And Breastfeeding Support Forum. Attachment Parenting

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!

Dont know if anyone watches it, but Nicola is breastfeeding her new baby, and doing well!
The storyline tonight was she was breastfeeding in the cafe, and it put someone off their dinner. So the owner asked her not to feed in there again - she said she should feed in the toilet or at home, and couldnt feed in the cafe again!!
So the family have all kicked off, and it has brought up the whole discussion of feeding in public, what the law says, and its really going into peoples feelings (the stuck up ones who disapprove, the passionate ones wanting to stick up for their rights, the h...

Hi
My Sam was ill last week (he had a cold and it was making him throw up) and 2 doctors told me to give him water. Sam is the fourth i have breast fed and i've never been told to give any of them water before.

Is this the general advice these days or did i just get misguided doctors.
i didnt give him water i just kept feeding him as normal.

love

Viki and Sam

Does anybody here dreamfeed? I used to do it with Ellie and it worked great. I tried with Keira but she just wouldn't root or latch until I really woke her up and sometimes it was taking me 45mins just to wake her enough to feed. I was thinking of trying again now she is a bit older, but was wondering if anybody had any tips or advice? Last night I started her last feed at 6:40, and put her down for 7pm, she didn't wake until 1am, and then woke again at 4am which is great.... it leaves me half tempted not to bother trying.

Thanks

Kev took Colby to get him weighed this afternoon and I wish I had gone instead
