Does anyone have that link about breastfeeding posted several pages back? It probably was about a week ago, because I think I was looking at it before Vivienne was here. I think it was from LLL but I can't find it on their site.
I'm only getting a good, truly pain-free latch after about 6-8 attempts, and sometimes not even then. She seems to sometimes go from a good tongue-stroking motion to a nipple-chomping fest and I can't figure out why. Will she just grow into it? It's so hard to push her hard and fast enough onto the breast to get that nipple in deep enough. Hubby has a decent eye for positioning, but even when she looks right it doesn't feel right. I think she might need to open her mouth wider, but I don't know how I can get her to do that. Maybe she'll have to grow into it?
We're only doing football hold at this point. (Do you UK ladies call it a rugby hold or something? Obvious I'm not kicking or headbutting Baby)
Now that my milk has come in, she only spends 10-20 minutes on a side, then is done. She'll often spit-up a couple teaspoons or more immediately afterwards, too. It feels a little like all our hard work is going to waste, but she seems content so I'm not too worried.
I have her first dr's appt / weight check in 2 days, but the first lactation consultant appointment available is in 6 days from now.
I know these are a lot of questions, and I will go search the breastfeeding forums, too -- but I feel like I know you ladies and was wondering who has similar experiences.
Thanks.

good luck
) but just wanted to let everyone know I had Charles Jerome on Saturday 17th August. He weighed 8lb 10oz and turned up 9 days late by scan dates.
Hi all,
I haven't really been in here much (moves too quick for me to keep up!
Hope everyone is ok, and good luck to those still waiting!
Ill just remind him 6 weeks.... 
I had this dream I swear was hours long. It was NUTS. Short story-the weight of the baby was extremely off. She was 7lbs 1oz. Also when I brought her home and tried to breastfeed she tried to bit my boob and for some reason I couldnt picture her face or anything. Come to find out when I put her down it was a cat or something!? So I told my husband that was not our baby and was freaking out. I asked him where the video was of her birth, so we watched it and sure enough it was NOT our baby. That video was the only proof I had that the doctor took our baby. 
Im sure this is from my anxieties of her weight not actually being a moose and not being able to breastfeed. 
. As if I don't feel bad enough that I couldn't breast feed with the rotten start we had (NICU, almost no skin to skin at first, not being given time in the NICU without the phototherapy lights etc) I had a complete stranger lecturing me. So now I am back to being depressed and sad about using formula. I am ecstatic he is obviously thriving on formula and doing so well, I am still upset my boobs are purely ornamental.
hugs to you and remember your doing fantastic never mind what people think
Aww mac try not to let other people's judgements upset you. I had someone today telling me my boy won't speak properly cos I give him a dummy!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with FF and people need to take a long hike and get lost before they give their unwanted opinions. Grr makes me mad
your doing your best for your baby and do not forget it I breastfed for 4 weeks on my first, I had similar problems my first baby was in nicu on lights and topped up with formula so then weaned to formula on my first he is a healthy 12 year old now you gave you baby a great start do not feel bad 
he needs to let down other people to compensate since he has a small tool and no money for a sports car
