Breastfeeding when she was 3 weeks old. I miss breastfeeding, it dried up. I'm glad I took pictures while I could.
 
frank eating his xmas dinner at my mums :D
i decided to wear him during dinner so he could be involved but he decided he wanted to eat right then too. :)


and yes i do eat more mint sauce than food :blush:

@ veganmum2be : was this picture on the Facebook 'Nurse-In' page?! I'm sure I recognise it :thumbup:

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!

:haha: 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!:flower:

awwww i wish i gotten newborn Bfing shots :( hes so cute! love the one of him hugging the boob!
 
Eskimobabys...that "my boobie" shot is hilarious! :rofl: 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. :shrug:
 
OW does it not hurt when he gets down to the nipple like that????? hahaha It hurts me to look at it!

Nope! He just kind of gently kiss sucks the end then starts licking the milk dribbles off :)
It does, however, hurt when he bites me with his gums (which is often how he tells me he is done with that side)! Has drawn blood a couple of times like that! :haha:

Yes it does!! My little man has a new habit of pulling at it! And his gums are HARD!!!!

It takes a bit of practice, but it's my favourite bf'ing position! If you lay on your right side and place your baby on their side facing you and their head in the nook of your elbow and kind of cradle your arm around their back. You can then use your other hand to help them latch and I use my fingers to keep space between my massive boobs and Bella's nose so she can still breathe! *LOL*

This is Alice at 16 months - sorry if it's a bit big, I don't know how to resize it!

Mine does too and he's got 2 teeth now!!! It's really hurting!

All these photos are amazing. I get so tearful looking at them as it's just all so special. x
 
A few recent pics - Were also in the big boobie camp, I am now a G cup and on a bad day a J. I feel very fortunate though that we have had no real issues whilst breastfeeding. I just have to make sure I never fell asleep whilst feeding as boobies were bigger than her at first !!

The first and last one I added for the comedy value - Just what happens when you pull away to quickly - Learnt her lesson quickly on that one !! And milk coma !!!
