Breastfeeding

Last night we had our antenatal class on breastfeeding which I found so intresting considering that I have heard 101 ways to breastfeed it was nice to hear from an expert nurse/midwife and mom of 3 children, I really trust what our midwife has to say after witnessing her bath a baby etc.. the way she can tell you when the baby will cry and when the baby will stop crying was amazing and to see it work practically was just amazing, some key tips I learnt last night:

• you can eat whatever whenever all in moderation this includes chocolate, tomatos, garlic etc... yipeeeee
• our baby will not get constipation or any gastric disorder aslong we are only breastfeeding
• breastfeeding nappies do not stink as much yipeeeeee
• we do not need to give the baby any extra water, rooibos etc.. breastmilk is good enough!!
• dont express in the beginning, your breasts work on a supply and demand system
• your breastmilk can never be too weak for your baby
• its soooooo much cheaper!!

After this class it really hit home that Cole is arriving sooon, less than 100 days cant wait!!
