Yep BF with DD was great. But hormones do play a big role I believe, because I went from pre-pg thinking "yuck" to BF, to during pg "well I will give it a go", to perservering through cracked nipples and mastitus when she was 2 weeks olds, to crying over giving up at 10mos old (for IVF), and finally after hormones dispated thinking "unbelievable, I did it for 10mos!!". Once she and I got the "hang" of it, it was great. I looked forward to having "my moments" with her while bf'ing, and let's face it how often do you get the chance in our busy lifestyles to sit down and relax.

Sal - I know that you found it quite hard with Miles. Have you got any coping strategies for this time around? With coping, I mean coping either way perserverence or not.
