    I didn't read all the replies but I just wanted to let you know that you can breastfeed.

    My grandmother was so sure I wouldn't be able to BF because she couldn't, my mum couldn't & nor could my mums sister.
    I went on to not only prover her wrong but blow her ideas out of the water complety. I have BF both my kids till they self weaned (18 months & currently still BF my 2yr old).

    The best thing you can do is go into it thinking I AM going to breastfeed. Not I will TRY and breastfeed. Contact ABA and get along to some meetings while your pg & also a breastfeeding education Class held by ABA. You need lots of Support & help to make it work this time.
    Good Luck
