They specialize in all things breastfeeding so they could help.<br /><br />Sorry things are tough right now :(!Beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235217801605671084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704476998505367281.post-64222876877974062732011-03-07T20:49:34.036-05:002011-03-07T20:49:34.036-05:00STICK WITH IT!

When I say hurt, I mean want to rip off your boobs type of hurt. Remember when you first begin to nurse, Get really comfortable in your chair, sit back all the way and bring the baby to your boob, DO NOT bring the boob to the baby. Thats a huge mistake mommies make a lot. Also, my #1 piece of advice. GET a lactation consultant. She will come to your house and sit with your for hours if needed. She knows the in and outs of boobs, babies and everything you need to do for nursing. She even has tools :) I couldnt have nursed my kids for 13 months without my lactation consultant handy. I even contemplated becoming one because they are such amazing women. <br /><br />It WILL get easier though, I swear. Im not going to go on about whats best for your baby because you already know, its breastmilk. People will argue the formula/breastmilk thing all day. But its the ladies who ditched out on boob feeding because it was "too hard" that say formula is JUST the same. Its not. We all know. Good luck, you can do this!!!

It helped me.erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432371971747985519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704476998505367281.post-39420287222790759502011-03-06T17:25:34.775-05:002011-03-06T17:25:34.775-05:00:( I'm sorry girl.
