Hi ladies, is my first time posting here after I had my little boy, but been reading all your post every single day
I have always wanted to bf, and was hoping that I could do it until sept ( he will be 6 months then) but I had to stop at 9 weeks due to my nipples bleeding.
Everything has been perfect in those 9 weeks, no pain at all, Matteo was latching on very easy, couldn't be more happier.
Being a first time mummy I didn't know how to take care of my breast during bf..they were leaking and leaking constantly and I was always wearing a bra with pads, and I ended up with thrush by week 6.Shooting pains in my breasts and so so so painful to bf.Went to the doc only to find out from him, that I have to leave my breasts "breathe" (walking half naked in the house for a few hours a day).The thrush from my breasts went in my son's mouth and then back to my breasts and by week 9 my nipples started bleeding and I had to stop
I know I sound daft but i did not know all that!!i had a bra on almost 24/7 due to them leaking and leaking.No one told me on the breastfeeding classes how to take care of myself whilst bf.
ohhh sorry for the rant..I had to let it out
