My Breast feeding experience

BREAST MILK IS SO GOOD ... (sing God is so good..)

i know the wonderful advantages of breastfeeding...
you can read them in lots of books....breastfeeding has the best nutrients for your baby ...
BUT books never tell you...breastfeeding is TOUGH...

i really ADMIRE mummies who manage to breastfeed their babies fully without any form of supplements or milk...

i have tried...only for 2 weeks...unfortunately after casearean , my body didnt have enuf rest..so breastfeeding make it worse...i collapsed...

it is NOT that breastfeeding is not good...but the fact is not everyone can do it...
i think BREAST FEEDING OVERLY PUBLICISED AND EMPHASIZED ....
so much so it becomes a form of stress for new mothers...

PROS of breast feeding:
no need to sterilize bottles
just feed
you pass antibodies to bb
fresh and delicious
bonding with bb
intimate


CONS:
you have no ideas how much your bb drinks...
if your bb like mine...hungry will go "ferocious" ...better give bottle milk..before your parents and in laws say why bb still so hungry
very tiring to feed her in the wee morning...you dun get enuf sleep cos bb would want to drink
FISH FISH ...you get so sick of eating it...but you hve no choice if you wan to provide plenty of milk
breast engorged when you dun breastfeed....PAINFUL!

AT the end of day, MY ADVICE: DUN FORCE YOURSELF...
JUST do what you are comfortable...
