    Thanks ladies :)



    They would have allowed me to go home today, but suggested I stay on another night to get the hang of breastfeeding, which I did, as I'm not very confident at it and I need all the help I can get!

    Wow that's really quick. Did you know there is a breastfeeding support group in Sligo too? Good Luck with it all!

    I spotted the poster alright! I think I'll need it, finding that part very tough. I really want to do it, but it's sore and he fed for an hour and a half last time :eek: I think he's just using me as a dodie at this stage, the little monkey!

    You can't call it a real boards addiction til you've posted from the maternity ward ;) Although from the labour ward would be even better!

    I found it very tough in the beginning! Lansinoh was my best friend, it does get easier as time goes on. The best advice I got was to enjoy the sit down and feeding time and go with the flow. Good luck!

    Your boy is very handsome!!

    I did find the first few weeks hard but take it a day at a time and go your own pace and dont listen to anybody elses horror stories.Especially off people who probably never breastfed.Im still going 10 1/2 months later so it does get easier.

    Oh my God Quackles, he is so beautiful it's brought a tear to my eye. To think that only yesterday I was declaring that all newborns look a bit weird, definitely not true in this case.

    Congratulations to you both!

    Aaahh Quackles - what a beautiful boy. Good luck with the breastfeeding. I'm planning on doing it myself and I'm dreading it. From everything i've read it's all in getting the latch right which means constantly asking the nurses is the baby positioned right. Also An hour and a half feeding:D That my dear might a gourmet child. Hope you stick with it as it's supposed to be a wonderful experience once you get past the first weeks. Insult to injury to new mums eh :rolleyes:
