We're so used to controlling life that letting nature do it's thing can be very frustrating. I'm sure it's SO much easier the second time around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094080834808752527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641385486709909080.post-91995950050627146082012-03-31T20:52:07.406+01:002012-03-31T20:52:07.406+01:00Thanks!

The midwives kept asking if he was staying on the breast for 30 minutes when we were in the hospital and I was lucky if I could get him to stay on for 5 then! Trusting your instincts is so important.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094080834808752527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641385486709909080.post-15623511054734395022012-03-31T11:22:08.221+01:002012-03-31T11:22:08.221+01:00Really, really great tips!

I think I had expectations that it'd just all be so simple, but totally didn't take into account how nature works on it's own. It took a week for my milk to show and poor HUT had a hard time with that. I think that when it's time for baby dos my experience will be SO much better.Stephanie Hain Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134601039188178507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641385486709909080.post-74811168921802425132012-03-31T07:33:13.152+01:002012-03-31T07:33:13.152+01:00Great advice!

There's one thing I want to add, babies nurse/your breasts feed at different speeds. I was lucky with both to have an easy time breastfeeding and both times almost freaked when the nurses told me he should be on for at least 30 minutes each feed. They changed their tune when he gained his birth weight back. So trust your instincts, if baby is hungry he'll usually let you know!Lienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479489443374383602noreply@blogger.com
