My mother couldn't breastfeed me as a baby due to health issues. There was no problem. I couldn't breastfeed my baby due to health issues, and there is a bond. Sanity is important, I feel.Bekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115699316629226322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950610514704668490.post-17792628348227256872011-03-23T21:23:02.180+11:002011-03-23T21:23:02.180+11:00One of my boys would not feed off my left side pro...One of my boys would not feed off my left side properly, so in the end, I fed him off the right and expressed the left, them Peter could feed him the last feed of the night - and free me up for outings of course. I expressed a lot, none of the boys fed properly until about 6 weeks, once they got started they would not stop though!<br />My sewing is my head space - swimming and a lovely Saturday arvo sleep. Have a great week and enjoy that little bubZippyZippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671751303934308368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950610514704668490.post-37505178972426613182011-03-23T16:37:25.505+11:002011-03-23T16:37:25.505+11:00Call 1800 MUM 2 MUM (Australia) for all your breas...Call 1800 MUM 2 MUM (Australia) for all your breastfeeding needs. <br />Jennie, The breastfeeding counsellors will be able to give you ideas for getting your baby to take a bottle. <br />Karen, not too sure how old your baby is or what you have gone through, but they may be able to give you some ideas also.

I feel that I've denied myself a wonderful bonding experience.<br /><br />But then you remind me how much freedom I do have. The ability to say to someone 'can you feed her? I just want to finish this'. Or at any given time I can spontaneous say 'I'm going out, there's plenty of milk in the fridge' (provided there is a babysitter of course).<br /><br />When I fall into a guilt trip about it, I need to remember that looking after a baby is as much about meeting my needs as meeting theirs.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184366053490558764noreply@blogger.com
