Just to share some thoughts after reading some of the posts here
1. I remember after giving birth, my breasts got handled by so many nurses, suddenly, they don't seem to belong to me anymore. It was a totally weird feeling. But that soon got replaced by the shiokness when baby latches on nicely.
2. Sometimes, a having friend who's breastfeeding successfully can be useful. My sister had prob latching her bb on initially. And when i asked permission to watch how she fed, there were so many alternatives and suggestions I could give. And i can also show her up close how i latch baby on.
3. Persevere! It can be an uphill task, fighting our physical tiredness, illness, and sometimes discouragement from people around us. For me, reading up on bfing helps
4. Pamper yourself The cow must be well-fed/taken care of so that the milk will be nutritious, right? It's a privilege and a right of ours, and ultimately the one that benefits is the baby. I say this coz sometimes it's easy to forget ourselves and just give and give. But we can give only if we have our tanks full, correct.
