i never had such a strong opinion on breastfeeding support until i went through it. i couldn't have done it without
a) an awesome lactation consultant,
b) a supportive husband,
c) more than six weeks off work [
i mean, that is just not enough time. period.] and
d) a supportive pediatrician.
here is a great article in response to mayor bloomberg's
latch on nyc initiative.
interesting read. she's right. at least for me, the hump i needed to get over certainly wasn't in the hospital. it was the days/weeks following.
on the personal front: we are nursing 100% without a shield! this, i never thought possible. little miss is working hard and gaining weight! stats on friday.

Awesome! Way to go mama
