These kind of sessions are really good in providing you with the knowledge to make your own decision. Breast feeding can be tough initially but it's also hugely beneficial and the easiest way to feed.

I found some of what they said useful, but some of it actually to be untrue. They told as at the class that it doesn't hurt if you do it right - but for me, and many other mummies I know, it really hurts to start with. Once established there's no pain, but initially it is possible it hurts even if you are doing it right! The burping point is really interesting too, Monkey definitely needed to be burped, and he had terrible colic for the first 3 months despite BF exclusively.Another interesting point is what they said about holding the baby's head - we were told this in hospital and really struggled to BF. When we got home I researched positions a lot online and actually found the best positions for Monkey and were actually not holding his head - as it turns out doing so was confusing him. I found supporting his head in the crook of my arm was much better - and felt more comfortable. Trust your instincts when you do it and try different things. I don't want any of what I am saying to put you off though, if you want to do it it is worth it and we BF for nearly 7 months in the end. Really interesting post and best of luck with everything! xx #mmwbhCaroline (Becoming a SAHM)http://becomingastayathomemum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687364975100352877.post-66925461039434478712014-05-14T18:58:17.594+01:002014-05-14T18:58:17.594+01:00Sounds like a really informative session.
