Breastfeeding. Do you ever wonder if the woman you pass in the street is a breastfeeder? I mean of course she should be waving a large sign above her head and be walking round getting her boobs out at every opportunity. Do you ever wonder if people can tell you are a breastfeeder (when you've put your sign away)?
Here's a handy little guide that might help...

Despite my birth plan not going according to plan, my little one latched on within an hour of birth. The intrigue of it all was amazing, and even now I can't get my head around it.
Fast forward to day 2 after I gave birth; our blissful feeding changed to a nightmare that took me months to get out ot.

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was pretty blasé about how I would
feed him. The only people that shared their breastfeeding experiences with me
had horror stories to tell – about pain, mastitis, low supply. Even my partner,
who already had two older children, didn’t want me to breastfeed. Nobody had
anything nice to say about breastfeeding, so I expected the same Sian - Quite Frankly She Saidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12300007192209401206noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735980324116432120.post-90410219064129661082015-07-26T08:00:00.000+01:002015-07-29T14:28:48.389+01:00Introducing why Zoe from My Mummys World is #PositiveAboutBF
When I was in school, one of my chosen ‘options’ for GCSE
was child development, this is when I first began to think about breastfeeding
although children were a while off. In my studies I obviously learnt a lot but
the positives of breastfeeding were of great interest to me and I instantly
knew that was the feeding route I wanted to take.
However it didn’t quite go to plan, I unexpectedly Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772164442096847395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735980324116432120.post-44387036803351706042015-07-25T08:00:00.000+01:002015-07-26T12:32:03.381+01:00Introducing Why Sadie From Fit For Parenting is #PositiveAboutBF
I am #positiveaboutbf I have always been positive about breastfeeding but it hasn't always been easy.
To me growing up, breastfeeding was the norm, my Mum would breastfeed me in her lunch hour and I had no reason to think I wouldn't breastfeed.
Once I got pregnant, I was inundated with leaflets about breastfeeding by the midwives, I knew all the pro's, I accepted the bottle as an option tooAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772164442096847395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735980324116432120.post-26616441552216733842015-07-24T14:00:00.000+01:002015-07-26T12:32:16.428+01:00Introducing Why Sarah at Run Jump Scrap is #PositiveaboutBFMy Mum didn't breastfeed me and she is very sensitive about it. Very. She was not supported very well after I was born and I was hysterical at the time. I was given a bottle and the rest is history.

There was no question when pregnant with my first child whether I was going to breastfeed or not. It wasn't a case of 'if I breastfeed', it was always 'when I breastfeed'. After a traumatic delivery, I was presented with a hungry little boy who thankfully knew what he was doing from the outset. Our journey wasn't without its struggles - mastistis, milk blebs, blocked ducts, nipple Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772164442096847395noreply@blogger.com4United Kingdom55.378051 -3.4359729999999912.188302499999999 -86.05316049999999 90 79.18121450000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735980324116432120.post-52068927269389906222015-07-22T08:28:00.000+01:002015-07-26T12:32:33.039+01:00Introducing Why Jenny From Monkey and Mouse is #PositiveAboutBFI've been asked several times now why I chose to breastfeed my children. The truth is I had never really thought about anything else, even as a child I knew I would breastfeed my children, it never occurred to me to feed any other way.

While I was pregnant with my first son, I was fairly indifferent to breastfeeding. It wasn't something I really thought about. I bought a mini pack of bottles and decided against buying a breastpump just in case it wasn't going to happen for me.
Even when I went to the NCT breastfeeding class my overriding memory is not the messages that she was promoting but the beautiful kitchenAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01772164442096847395noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735980324116432120.post-76446416119146120152015-07-20T09:41:00.000+01:002015-07-22T10:36:25.562+01:00Introducing why Georgina at Kohl Mama - Beauty in Gentle Parentingis #PositiveAboutBFWhenever I'm asked 'why did you decide to breastfeed' I have real difficulty explaining my choices. Perhaps because it wasn't a choice, there was no choosing - when I was pregnant with my son I hadn't bought any bottle feeding paraphernalia, I had no idea about sterilising, I had a bumper pack of breast pads and I had stocked up on Coconut Oil. I was ready.
