After the first couple of weeks I found it easy as.

Its so lovely to read positive breastfeeding experiences.

We've been breastfeeding for almost 15 months. Only problems was chaffed nipples the first couple of weeks, and more recently blocked ducts ( but this is down to Jax only breastfeeding twice a day now)

I can't imagine what making up bottles is like, this way is so hassle free.

My 1st was formula fed, it was a right pain in the ass compared to breastfeeding LOL!!!

I find FF a massive pain in the arse, and I never even did it when Eamon or Liam were newborn. After 6 months so no sterilising, just tap water (which is extremely good here). If I find it like that without all the extra faff I'd hate to FF a baby under 6 months.

Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone, it is really great to hear positive stories about breastfeeding! I would just like to add that I've been on holiday overseas for a week and it has been awesome to be BFing - no problems with baby having popping ears on a plane, no worrying about carting around formula or water or clean bottles, an instant way of comforting LO if he was unsettled - couldn't have been easier.

I wish I had been BF on my cross-country flight with Eamon when he was 18 months. It was hell on a stick.....

Aside from having sore nipples for the first week it has been smooth sailing for us too .

I found it easy
I went into it without doing any research as I didn't think there was another option and just thought it was the natural thing and I'd be able to do it fine (obviously , now I know this isn't the case for a lot of people).
LO latched on perfectly a few minutes after being born and we had no problems apart from the sore nipples for the first 2 weeks or so but nothing major
