    My Moo would just come off, I'd attempt to put him back on but he wouldn't be interested or he'd just have a suck or two. Then I'd offer the other side & he'd latch on

    Good luck!

    Thanks ladies... I'd definitely do a ABA course if we had the money for it, unfortunately it's not in our budget at this stage.

    You could think of the cost as insurance against the much greater cost of formula feeding
    Have you read Breastfeeding Naturally? (the book you get when you join the ABA) It's also very helpful.

    The class is $85, but this includes ABA membership (which is $65). If you can stretch the budget or ask someone to buy it for you as a gift it is really worth it. If it helps you to be able to breastfeed, you will be saving money on bottles and formula.

    My bub only took one side for the first few months, but i could feel that my breast felt slacker when it was 'empty'. i could tell which side to start from cos the one i didn't feed from last time was much perkier and harder.
