READY FOR A PEP RALLY ON BREASTFEEDING!!!!!!
...here goesI know its not for all women, and by no means are you less of a mother if you choose or can not nurse your baby. However it has been one of the healthiest and rewarding choices I have ever made in my life!
You are your worst enemy, you will fear it is too painful, or worry there is not enough milk. Relax and trust yourself is the advice my Mother inlaw gave me that kept ringing through my ears.

Save over $4,000 dollars in breastfeeding the first year of life
Once you hit the two week mark of breastfeeding, you have done the hardest part.
Once you make it to 4 months it is SOOOOOO much easier!
Tips for Success:
1. Get a hospital grade pump http://www.nursingnook.com/
2. The more nipple stimulation the better! If your not making enough milk pump after your baby nurses. (But chances are you are making just the right amount.)
3.Eat Oatmeal it increases milk production.
4. You can take fenugreek tablets as well. www.fenugreektablets.com
5.Don't feel uncomfortable! I had to learn that people just need to get over breastfeeding in public. It is completely natural. And unless your prepared to never leave the house again it is almost impossible to not nurse in public. If society was more supportive of breastfeeding mothers, it would be a healthier world!
6. Use Lanolin after baby nurses or rub breast milk around the areola.
ASTOUNDING BREASTMILK FACTS:
1.You can squirt it up the babies nose if they have a cold and it will alleviate and shorten the duration of the cold!
2.It can stay out at comfortable room temperature for 6-10 hours, so no need for a cooler.
3. You will loose your baby weight faster
