Well, ladies, I've never posted a woohoo before... but I just can't help myself! I have had two breast reductions and limited breast feeding success with my first two kiddies, both of whom were primarily FF. I did manage to BF my second bub until 12 weeks, more for comfort than nutrition and he then weaned himself (I'm still proud of that effort though!).
Anyway, Miss P is only 5 weeks but I feel confident we have established a strong BF relationship. I received limited support from the MW's in hospital, suffered the normal sore and cracked nipples and had a million doubts about my supply BUT I can honestly say Miss P is receiving about 70% breast milk and a couple formula top-ups as required. My supply is great compared to my previous experiences (thanks to Motilium and education!) and Miss P truly seems to love the breast.
It's still early days, but I was determined to do it and together Miss P and I are on our way to achieving a long and loving BF relationship... so WOOHOO to me and to Miss P!
