Nipple preparation

[Snacks]

I think you can get Lansinoh for cheaper than that - in a tube. I still have heaps of it (I use it for my wool nappy covers now ). You don't need to use much (if you use it at all). And I agree with Barb, having a good support network in place is the best possible preparation you can do.
All the best to you!

Support is great and I do have agreat support network.
I'm luck in the fact that our local hospital has won awards recently for being a breatfeeding friendly hosiptal, and for encouraging bf.
I didn't really have much trouble bf my son once he learnt how to latch on, I was just reminded the other day of these old wives tales and was wondering fo anyone else had heard them at what they were doing, if anything.
Thanks for all your advice.
