Not every woman can breastfeed - but nearly all can. For most women these days it is like setting off from Melbourne to Sydney without having once looked at the map, and without being able to read the signposts. Most people have an “I will if I can” philosophy and “it’s supposed to be natural isn’t it” They don’t use the information around them (ABA, Breastfeeding Education classes, Lactation consultants) And unfortunately the one person you asked sounds to have given you the wrong directions! (sigh) Then people arrive in Adelaide and not Sydney and wonder where they took the wrong turn. You haven’t got long to go, but educate yourself as much as possible. Have your baby skin to skin with you, and help her to feed early. Get a good LC and join your local ABA group. It all makes such a difference
