    YES! Oh so many!

    Well I've debunked the whole "you can't breastfeed after a c/s" myth. Oh yeah, the "you can't breastfeed once they have teeth" myth. the "breastfeeding makes children clingy and over-attached" myth... quite the opposite, Jazz has a healthy attachment in that she hasn't yet screamed when we've left her at home or at someone elses house without us.
    I had 10AA boobs before pregnancy, and heard a lot of times that I wouldn't have enough milk to feed Jazz because of my small size. LMFAO at my biggest, when my millk came in, I was a 14DD. I'm going down now, last check I was 12B (but am also losing weight, unintentionally unfortunately), and we're still feeding once a day.
    That you can still have milk when only feeding once a day.
    Oh, that you can't extended breastfeed your first child.
    That my breastmilk wasn't enough for her, and that she needed more milk as a baby (4-6 months) because she was so unsettled, she must have been STARVING. Um, no. She's gained 1kg a month between birth and 7 months old, it's obviously NOT my milk If anyone has seen photos of Jazz as a baby, you would KNOW she wasn't going hungry

    I might just have some severely misinformed friends/family
