Hi Debbie,

I hope that breastfeeding can become more comfortable for you.
Do you have a good Maternal/Child Health Nurse? (I found mine bent over backwards to help make breastfeeding more convenient) Or could you link with a lactation consultant? It can make it feel easier with someone supporting you.

Remember that breastfeeding goes through different phases as the baby gets older, so it may not feel as demanding as time goes on.

For my premmie breastmilk is such a precious source of goodness, and I'm sure breast-feeding contributed to my first baby being so healthy too.

Good luck with whatever you decide
