Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 My approach is to gather as much information as possible through classes, books, other people's experiences, etc. So, I took a breastfeeding class with each of my kids. I learned different things at each one, and it was interesting to hear the different ideas presented. My husband came to them also, and this was very helpful, especially later when he ould help me position the baby and knew to bring me a nice glass of ice water, etc without me asking/reminding him! I also of course read everything I could get my hands on and had lots of other sources of info., including lc's. So, I would vote for taking the class and learning what you can. If nothing else perhaps you'll meet a good lc who you coulduse later if need be. I also enjoyed meeting the other Moms and hearing their experiences. Why not try both the class and LLL?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 a, I agree. I'm pregnant, so I can't get hands on experience right now, but I think that it will help alot to learn and see, so that I can know what a good latch looks like ahead of time, how to hold my baby while nursing, how to tell if he's getting enough, etc. I like to think that if I read enough and hear enough about bfing, I will already know how to deal with any problems that arise and correct them when they come along. And I will go into the whole thing feeling confident which can make a big difference if the beginning is bumpy. 28 wks. > >Reply-To: breastfeedingegroups >To: breastfeedingegroups >Subject: Re: bfing classes >Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 20:10:04 -0400 > >As a nursery nurse who teaches breastfeeding to new moms I just wanted to >interject my opinion.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 Margaret, That's a very good point about taking your husband with you. I think I will go to the LLL meetings and also go to the class so that dh can come along and learn too and so I can meet the LC, if that is who teaches the class. I need as much knowledge as possible because I am really determined to bf exclusivley and I won't have alot of support. My dh is very supportive and so is my mother who breastfed all of her kids, but besides that all of my relatives and friends have strange hang-ups about it, it makes them very uncomfortable. My friend was over the other day and my 6 yr. old asked if we would give the baby a bottle and I said " no, I don't think we're going to use bottles at all, we'll just nurse. " And my friend said " even in public?! " in shocked tones.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 , You will be an example to your friend of discreet nursing, whether you are out together or just visiting in each other's homes. Go girl!!! Amy Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 , Just check w/LLL before bringing DH. I know my local chapter has 1 every 4 months that the husbands can go through. Otherwise it is mom support. I would hate to have him go and it be a problem. Not that they would say anything but he may be uncomfortable. Just check 1st and find out what their guidelines are and how or when he can come. They may not mind at all. For the record, No bottles here ever and Ds is almost 9 months old. I nurse in public all the time. I am discreet. For instance, yesterday we were grocery shopping and ds got hungry. He kept pulling at my shirt and doing the sign for milk. He was sitting in the cart so I pulled up my nursing shirt (must for discreet nursing) and flopped it down on his nose and he nursed away. Nobody could see anything but ds's eyes peeking out over the shirt with the drunken sailor look on the wonderful MAMA'S MILK! LOL. Many people commented how cute.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Laurie, That is sweet! He sounds adorable. I'm sure I will nurse in public too, i'm not going to stay in the house all the time or hide in the bathroom to bf. That was my answer to my friend's question, that of course I will bf in public, discreetly. I don't know why she had a picture in her head of me whipping out my whole boob, lol. About the nursing shirts, I noticed you said that you use them. I can't make up my mind about this. I have seen some cute ones and they look like they would make nursing in public easier but I have had other women tell me that they're not worth the expense and that blousy regular shirts or button down shirts work fine too.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 , Some regular shirts do work as good. On the most part I find my Motherswear shirts to work most discreetly. I wouldn't try what I did yesterday with a regular t-shirt or button up shirt. My whole breast would have been exposed. But the crop top allowed me the flexibility to put the shirt on his nose so I was completely covered up. I have done it both ways and for sure the clothes make it much easier and more discreet.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Practice in front of the mirror. It is a great way to see what's showing. If you can watch your reflection instead of the baby while you are latching-on, you are ready to nurse anywear!!LOL.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Good tip. I'll do that. I also figured that dh will be coming along with me on my first public nursing attempts so he can stand in front of me while the baby latches on. Just added insurance while i'm getting to be a seasoned pro, like you all. :0) > >Reply-To: breastfeedingegroups >To: <breastfeedingegroups> >Subject: Re: bfing classes >Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 23:09:27 -0500 > >Practice in front of the mirror.
