Great idea as i really want to breastfeed my next baby....really enjoyed the THREE times Maley latched on

 

[Bec L]

I would be happy to go under the Premature Baby slot. I know I didn't have a lot of the issues with feeding that other mum's of preemies had but I'll do my best to help anyone if I can xx

 

[hypnorm]

wow this thread got long!
i'd be happy to do health issues (mastitis!) body issues (large ones!) and Newborn feeding as i have done both from the start.

 

[Plumfairy]

[clairebear]

I can do expressing, working and bfing, and late latching (bub wouldn't latch on for a few days post birth), plus flat nipples.

 

[Sarah88]

[thelilbump]

[Arcanegirl]

You could put me in a young mums aswell

Edit: just noticed it says under 21, im 22 lol

 

[kellysays2u]

p.s. sorry about the bad punctuation and what not... typing one handed while feeding.

 

[Jemima]

I am no breastfeeding expert but I would be more than happy to help where needed. I certainly am passionate about breastfeeding and I would love to be able to assist where I can.

which categories would you like to be added to hun?

Can you add me to the Newborn section and I can help with issues on Over Active Let Down/OVersupply also. Thanks.

 

[Pyrrhic]

ild love to help if u still need people

What sections would you like to be added to hun?

 

[mama2b]

What a great idea

I wouldn't mind volunteering, think i would probably come under expressing/combinal feeding as i have fed lucas myself and ebm since he was 6 days and although i had some lovely advice there didn't seem to be anyone that has had much success doing both so early on. If i hadn't just gone for it and tried him with ebm im pretty sure id of caved in and given formula by now.

umm new born BF, Extended BF, young mums BF as i was 21 when he was born, and weaning.



I had an idea for a new section how about BF after a c section???

 

[Logiebear]

I would love to help others with these issues: Premature baby, re-lactation and combination feeding. Think it would be great to help others the way I have been helped xxx

 

[marley2580]

I can probably help with

Newborn Breastfeeding

Medical Issues (matisis, blocked ducts, sore nipples etc)

Body Issues (Large Breasts, inverted nipples, flat nipples, oversupply etc)

Extended Breastfeeding (12 months+)

Tandem Nursing

 

[Hevz]

I've only just noticed this

I can help if you need anyone else.....my "qualifications" are..................


Breastfed 4 babies for 14/15months, 12months, 9months and Erin is still feeding now

Breastfed Toby while I was pregnant with Erin till I was 19wks pregnant.

Done the Breastmates peer support course.

Breastfed slightly prem babies (35wks and 36wks)

Express and give my babies EBM with a pump (sorry am no use on hand expressing as I couldn't get to grips with it myself)

Breastfeeding baby with young children in the family

Also got pregnant while exclusively breastfeeding....maybe I can help with contraception issues. I've tried nearly all of them

 

[asacia]

While I'm no expert, I'd love to be able to offer advice, support and friendship to any other Mums who are exclusively expressing. I've not been able to breastfeed successfully, but I've been exclusively expressing for 5 weeks.

 

[Shifter]

I'd love to get involved in this! I guess you could put me down under newborn and body issues (I started out with flat nipples and have extra large boobs!)
