I read it and what struck me is that it was like all the other blogs I read pre-baby about breastfeeding which did nothing to prepare me for the reality. The whole blocked duct thing - I think most women do their best to avoid it happening and if they do get one try all they can to stop it developing into mastitis. I know I did. But when it happens in the middle of the night with no prior warning, not much you can do! I then was given antibiotics which I had an allergic reaction to meaning I was up the next night vomiting with a screaming baby. I get that if her experience was straightforward, then there isn't anything she can do to change that and good for her but it just comes across preachy (as always).
This last part - I used to sob every time my husband said 'I think she needs feeding' The pain was so overwhelming, it made my whole body seize up. I managed to push through it but my God I wouldn't begrudge anyone if they stopped at that point because I came close so many times.I'm due my 3rd in June and there's a chance they want to bring her much earlier as I'm high risk so I'm desperate to feed her myself. The support for BF here is none existant. Even with groups, midwives etc. I've always had trouble BF but my god I switched off reading it. I've tried so so hard to read it but it's just drivel.
Obviously Freya is going to latch well straight away and she is going to have no problems. Its just one big brag with a slight disclaimer at the beginning so she doesn't sound too condescending? Is that the word?
Edit. Ok. I read it through. Despite tongue tie, still seemed really easy for her. Of course it was. She doesn't talk about the fact that sometimes it can be so painful and a lot of mothers are left sobbing trying to hard to breast feed despite being in so much pain trying to.
