I didn't take a BF class but our birthing class discussed BF a little. I also went to a le leche meeting a few weeks before my due date - nicest ladies ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-246230 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:41:11 +0000 duckduckkristen 246230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just watched a bunch of videos online and found that more helpful than anything I read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-246206 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:35:40 +0000 heffalump 246206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up having a lot of issues so we stopped.... but I took the class and loved it. I think I found the nurses at the hospital the most helpful though. Nobody could help my milk not coming in though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-246050 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:04:11 +0000 mediagirl 246050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had taken a class or read a book. I quit after 4 weeks because we were bh so stressed out. I pumped for her until now. Now I'm adding some bf back in. Interestingly enough, after taking a break, it is really easy. She is latching right and I'm not stressing out. I think it's a lot easier now because she has some neck control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-246027 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:01:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 246027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did no preparation besides deciding with my husband that we would put all efforts toward breastfeeding. When LO was born we had a LC come to the room twice but it wasn't till we checked out that I had issues. I went to a support group with a LC twice a week while on my maternity leave. I also made a weekend call to a local LLL support line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-245917 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:42:23 +0000 PrincessBaby 245917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally worry that I'm going to be an epic failure!</p> <p>I know someone through work who used to be the president of the La Leche League in West Palm Beach, which is an hour north of me. I know that LLL ladies are like - scary- when it comes to BFing, but I'm going to see if she can refer me to a local LLL or BF class. </p> <p>I just got the Medela pump and I took it out for a looksy and I was overwhelmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-245905 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:38:53 +0000 Rubies 245905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was born, my nurse came and helped me all throughout the night. BF was a rocky start because my colostrum hadn't even come in AND LO was tongue-tied so it was a no-win. A few days later, LO's tongue was clipped, my milk came in and it just got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-245904 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:38:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 245904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with charlie i was totally doing it wrong. a lactation consultant that came to our house was a big help. once i had the right latch, it stopped hurting... as much.</p> <p>with olive it was pretty easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-245902 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:38:21 +0000 chopsuey 245902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It came naturally to me, but! A lactation consultant came to my room both days I was at the hospital to give me tips and to check on how things were going. </p> <p>I didn't take a breastfeeding class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-learn#post-245895 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:37:03 +0000 mrsjyw 245895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're signed up for a BF class. I've gotten book recommendations, and I've read here and there on the interwebs and HB about it.</p> <p>But I'm sort of at a loss right now. SO much info and SO many questions. I don't even know where to begin; nor am I ready to just yet.</p> <p>I'm very much a go with the flow person, and hope to be with all things baby; but am at a standstill with even just the "basics" I need to learn... </p>
