Title: Message

A couple of things...   Breast feeding was something I never had a problem with (despite the horrible CSect. etc etc.).   One thing that really helped me was watching the video produced by the then Nursing Mother's association. It was much better than any of the advice (sometimes conflicting) I got from hosiptal midwives. After watching that video attachment became a piece of cake.   Another thing, my sister had the same problem with her first daughter and it was revealed later that she was tongue tied and that was why she was having trouble attaching. It might be worth checking this out as it can be fixed. My sister didn't find out till after she had stopped trying to breast-feed.   Don't give up if you really want to breast feed! Best wishes and God bless,   Cas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Debbie Field Sent: Sunday, 15 December 2002 9:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Suggestions sought Hi, I recently had my daughter at home. A great birth experience...however the breastfeeding is really testing me out. I have used formula in a bottle to allow my breasts to heal while also expressing to maintain my milk supply. My baby girl is 17 days old and i am still having trouble with my attachment. She continually adjusts to a small mouth. Any suggestions. deb
