Good morning ladies
Breastfeeding
=============
I tbf my boy for 8 months and i must say mummies must need a lot of determination and support from family and friends, especially the first month when the baby is feeding on demand. No one can relieve u the task of latching but can ask hubby to carry the baby to you so that you dont have to get out from the bed. My plan is to bf till 1 year but my job travel schedule is really packed and with the airline liquid restriction, i cant bring the BM on board. Haiz was quite sad then....so my second baby will target 1 year.

U may feel a lot of pressure from older people abt bf especially if the baby kept crying even after feed. people will start making comments like "think ur milk nt enuff, feed him formula". please believe that u have enuff milk for ur baby it is always the dd and ss theory and babies do cry for various reasons not only hungry. Once u make up ur mind on bf, ignore other's comments and just do it. Use ur hubby to shield off those comments too. if need help/ advice can always approach us for help.
BF babies tend to be very sticky to mummy, it can a problem at times cos u dont get to rest at all. i cant even go to toilet in peace then haha. that is when i decided to stop latching around 6 months and pump out my milk. this way, my husband can participate in feeding the baby and can help to create bonding for them. Of cos the real reason is also i can get my rest mah!
