| What the members think! | Emmiesmummy Its like having a set of great mates who are always on hand to help with problems give support or just have a good natter too. Being a stay at home mum can sometimes feel lonely & asking your hv for help all the time on feeding makes you feel your doing something wrong & it becomes easier to give up....not anymore everyone here is always ready to offer advice or lend an ear if you need a chat. Its my daily lifesaver..... Gem1981 I can't recommend this website enough. The support from the other girls is wonderful and there is always someone to help - no matter how big or small the problem. Even if I just feel a bit fed up or lonely there is always someone to talk to and my days are alot better knowing I can come on breast buddies and speak to someone if I need to.
Can't thank you enough ladies, you're a wonderful bunch!!

I am pregnant with my 3rd child and only managed to breastfeed my last 2 for a few days - mainly down to a lack of knowledge and support.
I have joined this forum during pregnancy to get as much advice and support as possible so I can give breast feeding a proper go this time - and i've learnt so much already, and understand why I struggled so much previously.
Thankyou to you all - I know I will get through it this time with the support from all of you!

when i got told i was a bit wary at first, but coming on changed my aspect of what people are like, last night i got some great advice about my sleepy son and its great to hear from so many breastfeeding mums together

I am so glad I got told about this forum! I had absolutely nobody to talk about breastfeeding to at all! I seemed to be the only one breastfeeding at my local baby clinic and there are no support groups in my area! All the girls here are so friendly and certainly know their stuff when it comes to breastfeeding! If I ever have a problem or question I know I don't have to worry as there will always be someone here to offer great advice! Thanks ladies!

If it wasnt for this forum and the support from the girls here i would have given up breastfeeding weeks ago, all the girls have helped me overcome numerous problems I've encountered along the way, the support has been great, keep up the work girls, and a huge thank you to each and everyone one of you!

| | question about my operation |  Thu Oct 09, 2008 10:28 pm by Helen | Some of you no about the operation i was due to have at the end of august to have a derma solid cyst removed from my right ovary. And that the stupid surgeon rang me 2 days beforehand to tell me she doesnt do key hole surgery and only does open surgery and she didnt no i was breastfeeding (she would've known if she had actually seen me the 2 times i had appointments and she fobbed me off with 2 other doctors who put me down for keyhole  at the beggining of the year)! Anyway, i think i told you that the converstaion i had with the consultant the 2 days before the op was that as she didnt do...

| Is there any other way to help baby to sleep...? | | Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:29 pm by Squiglet | Almost every single breast feeder I have ever come across, boobies their baby to sleep. But thats just my experience....
Does every breast feeder, booby their LO's to sleep...? are there any other ways to help them sleep without the boob?... When do they stop needing the boob for sleep?
Not that it bothers me, having to booby lil miss to bed, its quite sweet that only mummies milk soothes her, but I think DH would like to put lil miss to bed sometimes, and when I am working, she won't nap without a full blown screaming strop.... I was just wondering if anyone had any...

| OMG - supernanny & breastfeeding! | | Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:31 pm by Helen | I havent watched supernanny for years - its sponsered by cow and gate so says it all!!!! I go on bounty website and one of the girls said there was a 3year old  on it so thought i'd watch a bit. I turned it off after a couple of mins cos it got me really upset - that stupid woman jo frost was telling the woman to wean little girl off boob cos theres no nutrition she cant get from a meal and she is making her stop co-sleeping. Anyone seen any of it?!
