Can i add a question to your list?
5) did it have an effect on your sex life?
My OH loves my boobies and i just wonder if he wont so much after he sees them being used every day by our daughter.
I'm fully intending to breastfeed so it wont make a difference to me even if every single one of you answers yes but i'm interested is all!

it didnt hurt my sex life. My sex life was over before we married. hence the EXhusband

I will say this, make sure you have fed your baby or pumped recently. I suggest this for two reasons, I leaked during the night due to pressure on my breasts from sleeping and them being triggered from the blankets rubbing. (yes, even through a bra) and secondly, its not very sexy when you are making out/playing with your signifigant other if you start having mini fountains lol

1) How long did you breastfeed for?/How long are you planning to breastfeed for?
I've been breastfeeding since my baby was born. Just over a month. Plan to until she weans herself off.
2) Did you have any complications while breastfeeding?
I have flat nipples, so it was harder to latch on. So I use a nipple shield.
3) Why did/are you choose to breastfeed?
My mother did it, and it never came across my mind to use formula. I've grown up to think babies are breastfed no matter what. So far, it's kept me going.
4) How old were you when you breastfed?
I'm 20.

I'm not really sure what it means to be honest. I'd love to know what it means, but I've been looking around and I can't find it anywhere.

I know that I'll be looking more for it when I find out, but I dunno. I've tried spelling it other ways, but the others say a boy name. To be honest, I think Emerie sounds girlie, no matter the spelling. Lol.
