Re: *Michelle*
Thank you!
I'm hoping to finally find some encouragement there. My family and friends are just like "why would you BF? It's so much work. You won't make it past the first week".. blah blah blah - everyone is so negative about it!!
Oh geeze! You need some positive back up for sure. I almost feel too much pressure from my support system. You can always message me with questions since I'll be a few weeks ahead of you (if this baby ever comes out). Meeting with other moms is so nice, so have fun!
I will tell you I heard the same things. The class didnt help me much, but I was determined to keep it going while I could. I was only able to body feed for about 8-10 weeks (cant quite remember) and we both got thrush. After that I have pumped for the remainder and am just starting to wean now. I know its work and hard. Dont let the pressure get to you or it makes it worse. You will be great. I have had friends who cant breastfeed and their little ones are just as healthy. Its worth a great try- but never let it get you upset or down!
