I was lucky enough to attend a La Leche League breastfeeding class before my first baby was born. I am not entirely sure what the class did for me, but it was extremely informative and I believe it gave me the confidence to get going. But some people find breastfeeding a really painful and frustrating experience and it seems there are various pitfalls that might not always be under your control such as a colicky baby, or a problematic delivery that has left you exhausted and teary. Enter The Booby Brigade (”The WHAT???), a group of West Coast new mothers who meet online and in person to give each other breast-feeding advice. The interesting thing here… for once you might actually want your chilled out breastfeeding buddies around to show you a thing or two. Another thought…. don’t rule out breast pumps. Here’s the whole article… and take a look at the comments at the bottom. Definitely worth a read.
