I was at home breasfeeding and Dad was there and tried to shield me as I fed......at home. Who was watching is what i want to know!! And then when I (shock horror) fed at a park. He was creating such a scene!

hehehe everyone who came to my house used to get to see my breasts!!! i think my family gave up being worried about it after the first few weeks.
i remember sitting on the couch with a jar underneath each breast waiting for hannah to wake up. i heard someone coming up the steps and ran for a scarf to cover myself with, but then saw it was my friend and decided that she could handle it... then her boyfriend walked up behind her!!! i've never seen someone so embarrassed in my life! lol

I think the whole world has seen my boobs. I had really bad mastitis and had to go back to hospital for 9 days, and my left side was so swollen that I couldn't even fit my maternity bra, so I was wandering round the hospital all lopsided and gushing everywhere

i never saw them...if thats any consolation, and i did see you in hospital. i am sure they are fine breasts (not just yours) - after all how many other body parts are mulit functional like a breast.

LOL Deb, you're lucky. Karen came to visit and got a real eyeful  But then again she was there when Maya was born so I'm sure my boobs were the least of her worries!

My Mum was my support when Kiya was born... I had a water birth, and I'm sitting in the bath breathing through a contraction and this midwife who'd come to see my midwife says "You know, they say a woman makes the same noises during the birth that she did at conception!" Just what you want your mother to hear!

lol embarassing! that's just about as bad as the "can you add an extra stitch?" remark. my brother in law did that.. the poor doctor went very red apparently.
hhhm, maybe i'm weird, but i felt funny about feeding in front of most people.. i mean, for the first little while till i got the hang of things.. cos then you don't have to bare all to get baby latched etc. I preferred to go feed in the bedroom. will be interesting to see what 2nd time round is like.

I had a few problems getting Josiah latched on at first.. he kept "nipple sucking" and I ended up with small cracks on my nipples. Luckily I saw them before they got too big, so they didn't bleed. I was staying at Waterford Birthing Centre, so I got the staff midwife to help me. She told me that often 2nd and 3rd time round, Mum forgets to turn her baby's body inwards enough - 'cause the older child learnt to do it themselves, but the baby hasn't yet.
That was our problem, and once we fixed his position he started latching on properly. I just thought you other "next time 'round" mums might like to know.

i have been wondering abuot the next time round with breast feeding - do your breasts behave the same in that do you get that whole milk coming in flooding thing? and will they have to get used to being suckled on again - it has only been 5 months since i stopped feeding my son but will my breasts need to readjust again... i am not looking forward to the pain i got when i first started feeding my son...any other words of wisdom re second time breast feeding would be cool.

mm i am wondering all the same things, it has been quite a while since i stopped with Paris no have no doubt that it will take adjusting to again, but last time my milk didn't come in properly until about 5 days after i had her - i remember sitting at home a few days after leaving hospital, and all of a sudden i had these rock hard things that leaked all the time, and thinking "so this is why they say to stay in hospital till your milk comes in!" hopefully it might be a bit speedier this time, everything else with the pregnancy kicked in quicker this time round.
hhm at least i'll be prepared this time - i know now that i need to eat EVERY time i feed, otherwise i basically flake.

In answer to your questions yes and yes. You do have to go through the whole getting used to feeding and sore nipples and engorged breasts. However I reackon it is slightly easier as it's like riding a bike it tends to come back to you. I agree becca.l you do forget to turn them tummy to tummy I was like that with my third. I'm the same as you Janine I can't feed around anyone other than my hubby and my mother and mother in law. If there is anyone else around I cover up with a blanket of move rooms.

I basicly had milk straight away with Jayde. And found it very easy to get her to BF. Mind you i had only given up about 6 months earlier.

ah one word NO! Had a barium swallow last week so waiting for results of that. But with all ther perserverence her weight has stabilised so thats one good thing. I didnt like the downward trend. and she had her 5 month check yesterday and is 68cm so going to be a tall girl like her sister. Who for her 2 year check was off the chart. Jayde is rolling now lots and trying to crawl its so cute. Pity i only give her tummy time in the morning when she is empty. I could ramble on forever anyway must go and sort out an electrician as i cant get our hot water cylinder to stop overflowing. Grr usually fiddling with the ajax valve helps or turning off the pump. But neither have worked today. Must have some gunk in it somewhere.

Hope you got the heater cylinder sorted Maria. One of my back steps off the deck has collapsed, and teh agent is having probs getting my landlord to fix it which is a pain.
Good to hear that Jayde is gaining weight finally. It's such an awesome feeling. I remember when Maya was in hospital and she would gain like 10g in a day and I would be soooo happy even with that tiny amount. When do you get the results of the barium swallow?
