The beginning was really difficult. Latch issues, thrush, clogged ducts, mastitis, milk protein intolerance, rotavirus... It was rough. Now at almost 5 months, we have no thoughts of stopping anytime soon! The next hurdle is returning to work in 10 days. But I feel like we can make it through anything now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-988553 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 16:27:55 +0000 Pepper 988553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've overcome mastitis, clogged ducts and latch issues... and at almost 6 weeks, I can say we're really getting the hang of it. Hoping it continues to go well. I never thought I'd be so "into" breastfeeding, but it's working for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-988542 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 16:18:23 +0000 Boheme 988542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't call myself a 100% success yet, but we've successfully made it through 9 weeks and counting! I hope it continues to get easier :) We are really getting the hang of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-988347 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:56:11 +0000 lomom 988347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in absolute awe of this community and the support I received and the support any struggling mama receives. </p> <p>It was hard for me to explain why I felt so strongly about breastfeeding but I feel like the hive understands and is incredibly supportive regardless of what choice a mama makes, because at the end of the day, we all just want our LOs to be happy and healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-984035 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 08:07:35 +0000 regberadaisy 984035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Breastfeeding Week!</p> <p>Here's my story: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-breastfeeding-journey" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-breastfeeding-journey</a></p> <p>M is 15 months and we still nurse at least 2x a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-984029 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 08:05:36 +0000 rachiecakes 984029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it was such a struggle at the start and at times I felt like a failure, but we came out on the other side and it was all so worth it! Such a special time in life, becoming a mom and having this experience. :heart: Happy World Breastfeeding Week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983996 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:54:14 +0000 MrsRoo 983996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I love being able to nurse LO, and am so thankful that I've been able to do it easily. I don't know anyone IRL who has been able to BF past a few weeks. Glad there are lots of success stories here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983992 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:51:50 +0000 cmomma17 983992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoo hoo!<br /> I'm so thankful every day for my minimally difficult breastfeeding experience. So many women here have persevered through such difficulties! You are all amazing.<br /> I :heart: nursing my LO so much, I'll be so sad when it's over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983979 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:49:29 +0000 dagret 983979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto! I feel so grateful that bfing has worked out for us. All of my cousins on my mom's side (5 of them!) have had problems bf'ing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983628 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 00:33:22 +0000 Espion 983628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!! I'm not a 100% success, as E is 50/50 formula and breastmilk due to supply issues, but I couldn't imagine not nursing this little guy. I had no idea the bonding part of it would be so powerful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983620 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 00:25:23 +0000 sea_bass 983620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a new mum and I love bfing so much.... way more than I thought I would! </p> <p>Well done everyone :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983618 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 00:23:45 +0000 runsyellowlites 983618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-breastfeeding-success-stories#post-983595 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 00:01:48 +0000 Kemma 983595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to say how lovely it is to read about all the new mama's and their success with breastfeeding - especially because it's World Breastfeeding Week!</p> <p>Keep calm and nurse on :-) </p>
