She came over at the drop of a hat bless her soul! <br /><br />Then I cried to my mother who nursed her babies and she helped me through reassuring me my baby wasn't going to die.....I spent many a days crying trying to figure it out. I was not prepared for how difficult it was going to be. I fought for our nursing for 3 months straight. It was a struggle but we did it. And I will fight to feed the next baby too....I'm hoping I have a little experience under my belt and will not be afraid to pump to get things moving etc.....<br /><br />She even was in the nursery where she had formula and we still were able to hang on. We fought against all odds. <br /><br />She didn't nurse after birth because she was in NICU for 3 hours.<br /><br />She slept in nursery both nights (for 4 hours) because hormones were whacked.<br /><br /> So we beat the odds. :) <br /><br />I agree with you on lack of knowledge from older generations....lack of support......Sometimes all you need is someone to calm you during the first few weeks. :)Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963399196987365207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306817272381032556.post-75532232265555803042012-07-31T14:20:53.053-05:002012-07-31T14:20:53.053-05:00I agree with you about the lack of support.

Thank goodness I had support from friends who were also breastfeedingHebrews 11:1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15235249884008648163noreply@blogger.com
