I would have given up and thrown in the boob on my 3rd day of breastfeeding Audrey if it hadn't been for the wife of my boss. Audrey was 5lbs 14oz and it took several days for my milk to come in. I fed her for 6 months, William for 9months, and the twins for 5 months. <br />I also had great lactation people at the hospital who helped. I think that drinking lots of water, eating good, and positive attitude are key. When I'd get stressed Tom would step in, take baby or babies, send me to 'take break' for a few and that always helped. <br />I totally agree with Kim. Get intouch with the lacto people and start talking now. OH! And that lanoline cream for cracking. Ick. I didn't like it. My boss's wife, mom of 5, said to just express a little and rub it on your nipple it isn't near as sticky and better. <br />AmyHerd Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835515160761024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441309827489593160.post-67055635556327759302009-06-17T16:19:59.142-05:002009-06-17T16:19:59.142-05:00Oh it is fun to find your blog.

I nursed all four of mine -- my mom was a laleche league leader for over 20 years. Not that I'm an expert, but I can help you any way I can. I suggest you get yourself the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding -- and see if you can find a support group or LaLeche group near you. Contact them now. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I know you can. The beginning is the hardest, and if you can get through the first couple of weeks, you will be just fine -- and even then, you might have a really easy go this time. Each baby is different! <br /><br />Rest, drink your water, put your feet up, don't borry worry -- and know we're praying for you.<br /><br />love and hugs!Kim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12684666350821801488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441309827489593160.post-48018354933443469262009-06-17T01:17:29.089-05:002009-06-17T01:17:29.089-05:00Sending good wishes and positive thoughts for an U...Sending good wishes and positive thoughts for an UNEVENTFUL remainder of your pregnancy.

Brigette and Tom were my dream breast feeders. Have some confidence that this baby may be easy too. I think attitude makes a big difference.<br /><br />Prayers for the rest of your pregnancy.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866840456840793793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441309827489593160.post-61577654087463076642009-06-16T18:09:32.481-05:002009-06-16T18:09:32.481-05:00Praying that you don't have to go on bedrest!
...Praying that you don't have to go on bedrest!<br /><br />I've been having a lot of swelling too, but I always have problems with the humidity (which is hovering around 90% here . . .ugh), so I think that has a lot to do with it since my blood pressure's fine. <br /><br />I wish you the best with breastfeeding . . .I fear that more than labor!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986847024637960197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441309827489593160.post-1114269280239149082009-06-16T17:50:28.224-05:002009-06-16T17:50:28.224-05:00The doc's dream isn't an omen.

I took that very hard and was very upset, but I dealt with it because me and my baby were having a hard time and I wanted her to be able to eat enough. I don't think she has slowed down since...haha!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227998987960781667noreply@blogger.com
