when did breastfeeding click for you and become enjoyable?

I found it painful for the first 3 weeks and it really helped me by giving Lucas a bottle of ebm, I don't think id of coped without it. My health visitor told me to wait until 6 weeks but I know id of given up by then, I couldn't wait until then my poor nipples needed some relief !

I think the things that got me through were lanisoh (sp?) nipple shields, expressing and most importantly the love for my baby :)

After the pain went it was probably another week or so before I actually realised I enjoyed breastfeeding. Now I think I will actually be sad when I stop.

Well done for getting this far, its the best feeling when you come through the other side and you are so close now :hugs:
