@ veganmum2be : was this picture on the Facebook 'Nurse-In' page?! I'm sure I recognise it
Me breastfeeding my booboo at just a few minutes old and about a week old
I cant help but notice that you are also "well endowed". Have you found any positions that work better for you? Do you think that BF'ing so soon after brith was helpful?
The reason i ask is because I had a nightmare BF'ing my daughter 8 years ago and I am trying very hard to give it my best this time around...so any tips or tricks would be helpful!

being well-endowed has been challenging! When I'm engorged they look amazing and when I'm flat well I'm flat I'm afraid. Mine and baby's favourite is me laying him next to me in bed and having a gobble! That way we fall asleep together and my back doesn't hurt. One thing I hate is that my breast covers his nose and this worries me. I try to position myself so that it doesn't cover his nose or I have to press my finger just above the nipple. In bed I just lower myself so that my breast is just below his nose kind of level. Hope this helps.
Oh yes! And it ws painful but perseverence has paid off and it's so very special! Although I'm successfully combi-feeding (for a week or two). Just do what works for you and GL xxx

It can be tricky to get the hang of this but is wonderful when you get it right! If feeding from the left, I lie on my left side next to LO tummy to tummy propped up on my left arm. I help LO latch using my right hand and ones he's got hold I slowly and gently slide my left arm down flat around the top of his head. Good luck!
Here's some more pics from me!
LO at about 1 week old

LO today (yes we were feeding in the car!) demonstrating a bad latch or rather how he likes to play with his nipple toy!

Eskimobabys...that "my boobie" shot is hilarious! Your little girl has such beautiful bright eyes. I wanted to ask where did you get your siggy thing from...I see loads of people with them but can't figure out how to get one.
