Find a comfortable spot to breastfeed. You want to make sure you and your baby are both comfortable. I love the Boppy, it helps make the process much easier.

I often breastfeed in public and never use a cover up. The best advice I received was if someone feels uncomfortable seeing this – it’s them that has the problem, not you.

well as a girl who is about to be a first time mom and is absolutely terrified to breastfeed, even though I’m planning on doing it when the babys born, all these hints that I’ve read are extremely helpful I always wonder how people breastfeed in public but I never thought about getting a cover up I didn’t even know they made them!

My best tip would be that you can feed a baby too much, my last baby would eat constantly, and then spit it all up. I had to stop feeding her and give her a pacifier if she still acted hungry!

My best breastfeeding tip? Hmm.. If your baby is not hungry, and is giving you the cues that she is finished nursing… follow those cues and stop nursing. I did not in the past, and boy she sure can bite, HARD!! LOL, that is my best tip to you! I had to learn the hard way! Your welcome

I think the best tip I got was to just relax. I was so tense when first learning the ropes of breast feeding that my shoulders were up to my ears! My baby could sense the stress and he had difficulty latching on. Once I relaxed, he seemed to latch on better and wasn’t as frantic with trying to eat.

Also, hot showers help with great let downs!

My husband was the most supportive person. Those first few weeks were hard during the night and he would say to me “you don’t want to give him formula, right?” That was always the biggest kick in the butt for me. I was determined to nurse and he was super supportive.

Also learning to nurse on demand rather than when it is “time”. A tip that I could give is that if you are having a difficult time nursing, ask for help. I started attending La leche league meetings. It helped to be around other nursing moms, since all of my friends used formula. The support system is wonderful!

Watch your baby, not the clock. That was by FAR the best advice I got (ie: nurse on demand)

thanks for the chance
