Can any mother breastfeed?

Hi All. Just a quick update. Even though bf-ing was hard early on I persevered and have fed my boy exclusively. He's now 4 months and growing very fast.

Thanks for your support.

Yay! That is excellent, happy news.

You are awesome! You should feel very proud of yourself for dealing with the fears and the obstacles and acheiving this milestone!

Thanks for the support. Next goal - 6 months. My boy isn't showing any signs of quitting anytime soon. BF-ing is such a breeze for us both now. That first month or two was very difficult.

Isn't it an amazing feeling when finally it becomes easy. That was when I truly fell in love wit BF- it wasn't easy for DD and I at the start either although our issues were pretty stock standard. I have such respect and love for breastfeeding.

Yay, I am truly happy for you! Thanks for the updates. x It was great timing- today for the first time, I acknowledged how annoying I am finding BFing (I have just returned to work and I come home at lunch to BF) but reading this thread reminded me of the hell I went through to establish it in the first place. I'm not giving that up now. x

Hi Katters,

I am back at work full time. I express twice a day at work. I love it because I get an disturbed break everyday.

It can be annoying at times though. I completely understand what you mean.

Hi Everyone. Quick update - we made it to 1 year exclusively breastfeeding.

That is really wonderful news.
