Future BFers

FYI-- I didnt know too much about the Le Leche League before I had DS. I thought they were a bunch of Bfing nazis with crazy rules and such. They are so not. I wish I had gone to a meeting or called them early on. I had many issues and also had problems getting in contact with a lactation consultant. I almost gave up, but I am so glad I didnt and I finally found LLL and they are so great. They have years of experience btwn them all and they come to your home for free if you need help--and you dont need to be a member. Dont hestitate if you have issues to call them or go to a local meeting.

Just a thought that may help some of you

    That is good to know. I was wondering about them, its good to know that you had a good experience with them. I think I am going to need all the support I can get.

    Thank you for the tip. Honestly... I am not feeling super comfortable with the whole idea but I really want to try it...so this is good advice!

    I felt the same way before I had my daughter. It is weird and chanllenging in the begining but it was so worth it. I took me about 2 1/2 weeks to really get the swing of things (with the help of LLL and a great lactation consul.) but then I BF my daughter for 14 months.

    I agree that you really need all they help you can get. It isn't easy and like anything takes practice and help but it can be done!

    I plan on going to the local meeting on Saturday, unless my little one comes before then!  I've heard great things about LLL, and I'd like to have some sort of contact with them before I need to call them for a consultation.

    I also go to LLL meetings, and they are very helpful.  I've never felt pressure or uncomfortable.  The women in my group are a great bunch of ladies.
