I had problems with cracked nipples, thrush, and positioning. It took a long time to get rid of the thrush and I was expressing for about 6 weeks. Now my Lila is on the breast exclusively and is a very very happy little girl. I just wanted to say thank you because I got a lot of moral support and advice from the lovely women here and without that I would probably have given up and gone to formula. So glad I stuck with it, thank you.
