This is my first time breastfeeding but my third child. My first two kept ear infections and respitory infections. (they were NOT breastfed) My newest child has no problems and is a very happy baby. If you want to breastfeed but don't know if you can, here's how it finally worked for me. First thing is to buy the boppy pillow that has the back support and snaps to you. That is a lifesaver. It makes it so much easier and you have a free had to do other things. It also helps your back. Second I also pump extra for bottles. The nurses told me this wasn't a good idea because the child would have problems latching on. Maybe for some mothers they do but mine doesn't This helps your so you husband can expierence the first weeks or months of your childs life (and you can get sleep). It is just all around better for the both of you. Weighted loss is great! I never lost the weight with my first two children but with breastfeeding I have already lost 15 lbs in three weeks. You don't have to get up out of bed to go get a bottle and listen to your baby screaming while your half asleep. Sometimes I go ahead and pump a bottle and leave by my bed table that way when she wakes up I just have to get her and the bottle.
