we went to see a very nice woman about the breastfeeding yesterday and came away feeling very happy and positive - which was great except for the fact that last night and today have been the worse so far. we got no sleep last night and baby G simply doesn't want to stop feeding for more than 20 minutes at a time. she has been screaming at levels not previously heard from her before and i;ve been inclined to join her. i've made a decision that i'm going to stick it out for 6 weeks and if it hasn't got any better i'm stopping. i feel bad but i know i'll feel worse if these problems start making me resent G.

despite feeling like i've read every article on breast feeding that has ever been written and had as much midwife help as i could possibly have in the days after G was born, i have finally accepted that i need more help (thanks to e-bomb mum for suggesting this). i emailed the woman who did our nct classes and then chatted with her on the phone. we talked through all the things i should and shouldn't be doing and then she gave me the number of a friend of hers who we could go and see who would check positioning and latch. fingers and toes crossed.
