Although having to go through IVF and gestational diabetes and 2 c - sections and Joey's NICU / nursery stays and both kids self weaning were all huge emotional and physical traumas
for me (and my husband), now that they're in the past and I'm a mommy to two amazing toddlers, I can see that it all worked out how it was supposed to.And my
advice to all new mothers who hope / plan to nurse take a breastfeeding class when pregnant, have a breastpump in the house before the baby is born, buy nursing bras that have front panels that you can open easily (and bring some to the hospital with you when you go to give birth), don't be afraid to pump and let someone else give the baby a bottle of your milk when you need to sleep, hold off on introducing baby food until much closer to 1 year old than 6 ohtnms, and be prepared
for it to be hard and possibly painful at first (think
cracked, bleeding nipples and breasts that are so full of milk you think they will explode so also have lanolin and / or nipple cream in the house, and nurse or pump
well before you let yourself become engorged and in pain).
