National Breastfeeding Week

24 June - 30 June is National Breastfeeding Week and MamaBabyBliss celebrated with some fun, facts and opinions.

  1. Mum's share their experience of breastfeeding:
  2. @MamaBabyBliss Tricky at 1st but worth it (for sleep, convenience & cost.) Also v demanding tho & a bit exclusive of dad.
  3. @MamaBabyBliss very tricky at first but with persevering as it was worth it in the end. Making up bottles is such a hassle #breastfeeding
  4. @MamaBabyBliss once established it was a doddle but I had no clue it would take so long & that I would have to relearn with no 2 was a shock
  5. @MamaBabyBliss initially it was difficult for me and my baby to establish but now,its just fun all the way. :)#nationalbreastfeedingweek
  6. Feeding on demand = feeding 24hrs a day for first 3 weeks until supply is established, then it's MUCH easier :-) my experience anyway. wish someone had told me this though.
  7. Advice and tips:
  8. @MamaBabyBliss Relax. A feed does not have to take a set time. It might feel like baby's on and off all day. This is normal! Trust nature.
  9. @MamaBabyBliss make sure you've a drink and entertainment within reach when you sit down to feed.
  10. @MamaBabyBliss RT - "Breastfeeding might be natural but it requires practise' #nationalbreastfeedingweek - & remember baby has 2 learn too!
  11. It hurts until you both get the hang of it, but 14 mths in and i can say its definitely worth it! Ask for help with latching to being with. There's loads of support just ask. Enjoy x
  12. Did you stop earlier or later than anticipated?
  13. @MamaBabyBliss Longer.....said I'd do 6 months, didn't think I would make it. Now one week short of 9 months #stillgoing
  14. @PipSkipPip @MamaBabyBliss I stopped earlier with 2nd child, he was just too interested in what was going on around him
  15. Praise for MamaBabyBliss' 'Aaah...' Mummy Baby Balm
  16. It's brilliant! Much better than other products I've tried. I'm using it after each feed :)
  17. Pink looking more than divine....
