Many of them have recently been said in current threads.

Yeah, they have!

I could write a novel to express how much I agree with that. Thanks for posting Tinks.

wyiswyg - I'd educated myself and thought I knew some of the hurdles which I was all mentally prepared for. What I wasn't prepared for was my particular hurdle which is that I have very large nipples and couldn't attach either of my DDs until about the seven week mark. And I do mean couldn't attach at all, not just occasionally. No-one talks about this and what to do. What they do talk about is how giving bottles can lead to breast refusal so meaning that by the time they could attach, I thought that I wouldn't be able to BF at all. Also not true.
