| 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!!

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!

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

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!

If it wasnt for this forum and the support from the girls here i would have given up breastfeeding weeks ago, all the girls have helped me overcome numerous problems I've encountered along the way, the support has been great, keep up the work girls, and a huge thank you to each and everyone one of you!

| | Random people telling you what to do................ |  Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:43 pm by clairelana | Has anyone else had this?
I was in next today and one of the women who worked there said "oh she's hungry isn't she" I said "erm no she has just been breast fed and had a bottle of expressed breast milk, she's tired" Then she went on to say "You should give her a bottle of water to calm her" I was getting annoyed at this point and said "I breast feed her, she doesn't need water" and walked off before i told her what i was thinking. AAAAAGGGGHHHH How annoying.
(sorry moaning again........lol. I don't always moan....ha ha)

| sore boob | | Mon Jul 21, 2008 11:18 pm by nac | hi all
12 weeks and still breastfeeding i feel very proud of my baby.
i have a sore boob, post her sleeping through the night for a few nights. it was a tough night last night lots of pain, its as if she knew as she woke and fed every 3 hours to help me keep the breast drained.
went to the dr, he gave me antibiotics in case it progresses to full blown mastitis! im feeding her regularly, draining the breast with a pump if she doesnt drain it and gravitational feeding - which she thinks is very funny.
feeling a bit sorry for myself but...

| Feeding more through the night | | Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:00 am by kay | Corey is feeding much more through the night than the day at the moment.
During the day, he has good, long feeds, well spaced out (i dont count, and i dont time lol!).
At night, he is just on and off all night - short, snacking sort of feeds. TBH, I dont know how many times, how often or anything - i dont look at the clock or even open my eyes really 
Its not affecting my sleep too much, and it isnt a problem, but does anyone elses LO do this? is it common?

http://one-of-those-women.blogspot.com/2008/06/protect-my-baby-protect-me.html
