My LO is nearly 4 weeks old so I'm right in the middle of that uphill struggle that is establishing breastfeeding. As you can imagine I'm spending a lot of my time sitting on my bum while LO nurses...and nurses...and nurses some more.
One thing that's really keeping me going is reading every little thing I can find online about breastfeeding whether that be what to expect type websites like LLI and Kellymom, newspaper articles, inspirational stories and blogs, I've even enjoyed reading sciencey stuff about how the human breast works
So I just thought it might be nice to have a thread where people can share links to their favourite websites or any interesting or inspirational articles we have come across that might help encourage and reassure new mums as they go through those difficult first few weeks, or just give us all something interesting to read while we're sitting up at 3am with nothing better to do
Maybe some of you wouldn't mind sharing your own breastfeeding success stories here too?
Here's a couple of articles I've enjoyed reading so far:
