With my 1st I don't recall any problems I had typical first time mum syndrome though and thought he wasn't getting enough so started supplementing with formula at 6 weeks and gave up at 3 months for selfish reasons,,
2nd bub. he was ill and was on meds that made him sleepy. We expressed and breastfed for 7 weeks till I went to expressing full time till he was 10 months oldI only stopped because my milk started to dry up. even though I had been told it wouldn't last long if I expressed full time
3rd bub. he took to the breast like a true champion and we never looked back. He self weaned at 21 months
4th bub. once again I have been so lucky with an awesome feeder. born at 36 weeks we were told she would have trouble attaching. 10 hours after her birth she had her first feedattached with 10 minutes has been feeding well since. Was a nipple biter for the first 2 days which caused a "scabby nipple" but that has healed nicely and we are having a wonderful time breastfeeding. I hope to continue to 2yr and beyond
