Mrs Jak, I think it's great that you are preparing for this already. That will really help you to succeed. Many people do hire Lactation Consultants, some before birth and others only if they have a problem. With your past experience, seeing one before the birth could be helpful so that the LC can talk about what went wrong last time and give you some ideas before the attachment damages your nipples.

Another option is to join the ABA and go to a Breastfeeding Education Class. Even as a 3rd time mum you will probably learn some new things. For example, if you haven't tried Baby Led Attachment before, they will show this technique which helps many mums who have attachment problems using the traditional mother led positions. Also, you will meet some local counsellors who can support you when you need it, and will probably also know some good local LCs so that you know who to contact.

All the best with it hun. I hope it's third time lucky for you.
