I tried to breastfeed but never really produced milk good enough to fill my little monsters.I could not express either, I would sit for hours and produce about 5ml of milk! No one tells you either how much your nipples will hurt, I used to put the hairdryer on mine to take away the pain. I have come over from #Sundayroundup .I Look forward to reading your blog and adventures in the future!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396911141815130531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816951426082272646.post-75800904157737039162014-10-26T10:12:33.807+00:002014-10-26T10:12:33.807+00:00Great post.

As a dad, even I know that breastfeeding isn't the easiest thing in the world, and while I completely agree with those that think breast is best, I also fully understand that sometimes it just can't be done!

I remember having my boobs man-handled by numerous midwives in hospital and wondering why breast feeding wasn't the beautiful, bonding and peaceful experience I had imagined. Sadly, after weeks of trying Little Miss decided breast feeding wasn't for her. I then expressed for months. Being hooked up to a double pump up to 10 times a day was the most indignified experience of my life. Motherhood - it is the most amazing thing but also bloody hard work.

I too felt like a cow every time I hooked up to the pump! As for exposure...when my daughter was a few days old my partner had some friends over. I took the baby to the other room to nurse...and forgot to latch my nursing top afterwards. I walked into the living room, laid my sleeping babe in her bassinet, and turned to walk to the couch. That's when I noticed that my breast was still out and that Almost-Husband's friends had gotten an eyeful!Brandyn Blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364919826813976813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816951426082272646.post-78391335873738341562014-10-22T15:09:24.805+01:002014-10-22T15:09:24.805+01:00Great list!

I just couldn't get past being exposed (even under a cover) ... so there was a lot of feed baby and rush out the door :) I hope if we have another baby I don't have the same fear. OH and I totally felt like a cow when I pumped. Made that comment to my mother who couldn't help but break into laughter!

I got mastitis too - cabbage leaves on the breast do actually work (a little) to relieve the terrible pain. I would say to any new mum, have a go at breast feeding as clearly there are many plus points, but don't beat yourself up about it if it doesn't work for you. Formula milk is great too.
