I really want to give it ago this time but ive been worrying about it already, is there anything i can do to prepair my boobs?? Will i just know how to do it?

It didn't feel natural to me at the beginning. There is nothing you need to do in terms of pre[aring your boobs, but I would highly recommend finding out if there is a local breastfeeding group near you, get helpline numbers for the NCT breastfeeding helpline, and La Leche League etc. If you don't mind me asking, what happened last time??

Also, don't be afraid to ask the Midwives to help you latch the baby on each time you feed - if the latch is right from the beginning it'll save you having sore nipples and will ensure the baby is taking milk efficiently.

Try and give the baby a feed as soon after birth as possible.

Thank u.

Beanie course i dont mind, i never tried last time i dont know why but i just didnt feel i could even try. I wish i had tried though.
I have the midwife again in a couple of weeks so ill sk her about these groups im determined to do it this time!!!

Im hoping to try breastfeeding this time too, last time when i was considering it the midwife told me to rub my nipples hard with a rough towel after getting out the shower !!!!!!!!!! i was like yowza are you joking?!

Ouch!

Now ive been thinking off other things and what will i need?? I have seen a set which includes steriliser bottles and hand help pump ill need these wont i?? I spose in case i cant do it ill need to get some Formula in. Im paniking and ive got 18 wks to go lol!

Also which brand is better Avent or tommie tippee? I had neither for Kai think it was mams i had for him!
Ive heard Avent bottles leak? not sure how true this is!!

Good luck hun for the BF, As Beanie and Lucy have said, dont be afraid to ask for help. For me it wasnt easy, but we stuck with it, and after about a week, we had it sussed!

I use Avent bottles, with Tommy Tippee Nuby teats, the avent bottles have never leaked in 18 months, I found the TT bottles leaked more. But Charlie never liked the Avent teats.

omg, did she dislike u

did she say why

All I can recommend is don't give up straight away,when i had my son I was at my wits end with trying to BF and the nurses were so adament that I had to give it a go.When I got home I wanted to give up but my OH conveinced me to stick to it,I BF my son till 18 months,it was a great bonding experience for us.
Goodluck and do what is comfortable for both you and the baby.
