But the migraine I have been battling for 3 days won! I am glad you fought through it and came to LLL... I am glad I have been able to meet you and share in your triumphs and hear your sage advise.

Maybe if I am ever blessed (I guess that is the right word) with another, I can come to you for guidance. I was young and dumb with MG. I got bad advice and was frustrated with Westers after it had been two weeks and I wasn't producing enough milk for him (I think I was a tad depressed too). Oh well, God is Good because they are healthy active boys anyway. You rock!

If I'd had guidance when you were born perhaps I would have stuck with BFing you. You had latching on problems and I gave up too soon. I know that now. Thanks! I admire what you are doing.

And he is right about me not having stuck with it if it were not for him.....I would have quit the first week. Kisses to him. *MMSMOOCH* Also, ya'll can tell that DH is kissing my baby belly in that first pic right? It is not gross or anything. </p> It is nice to see My hubby is on my soapbox with me.

BF'ing has been one of the best things we've done for The Son. Period. That said, boy were the first weeks of his life hard on us. Constantly having to wake up every two hours to feed him, the trial and errors of figuring out how to get him to latch on. Hey You being completely wiped out during the day because, unlike me, she was awake while The Son nursed at night(I usually fell asleep after helping get him latched on). Was it hard? You bet. Was/is it worth it? DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People seem to have a misconception about BF'ing, especially guys. They think it's the woman's job to take care of that. I have to tell you that it's time for guys to step up and be a MAN!! I don't think that we would have been successful with BF'ing if I hadn't been so dedicated to helping Hey You (and by helping her, teaching myself). I mean, come one....breast feeding means not having to wash tons of bottles, or getting up and warming milk/formula in the wee hours of the morning...in the end once you get the hang of it it's SO MUCH EASIER than bottles. You just have to stick with it through the first few weeks. IT DOES GET EASIER!!! I mean, if you wouldn't give up on something you like doing (like learning to drive/swim/ride a bike) after just a few short days, then WHY WOULD YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR CHILD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's the best thing you can do for him/her, if you doubt me just read any of the previous posts under the Breast Feeding category...you'll find plenty of reasons it's a good idea. As for the excuse, "it's just too hard", my response is this: Life is hard, but you're still trying aren't you? Don't give up on your child because more than anyone else on the planet, your child is worth the exhaustion for the first few weeks. I could go on and on, but I think I've made my opinion clear. Breastfeed Your Child!!! Wow…..that’s all I can say.
