Yay! He still takes forever to feed though (40mins) and then a bottle of formula supplement right after (10mins). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-272000 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:02:06 +0000 Amelieisme 272000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is reassuring to hear! Seems like everyone on here talks about loving BF'ing and I must admit that 3 weeks in i do not! I can't stand feeling tied to the couch all day since he takes 40 minutes and wants to nurse so frequently. Glad to hear it gets better and most people don't enjoy it until later. I felt like a bad mom :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271808 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 23:46:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 271808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around the 8 week mark is when it clicked :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271689 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 20:18:29 +0000 pastemoo 271689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:) I am so happy to see that so many people who struggled in the beginning are totally loving it now. :) And 2-3 months seems like the average... Cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271667 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:53:36 +0000 Mrs.M57 271667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-9 weeks I'm so in agreement with pps love when she started looking up and smiling :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271651 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:32:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 271651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 8-10 weeks.

Her latch wasn't right until about 6 weeks old and at about 9 weeks it finally became comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271588 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:03:35 +0000 cyndistar3 271588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I never had any issues and loved it from day one, lo #2 was super impatient and had a terrible latch for the first week so once it stopped hurting at around 2 weeks I started to love it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271566 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:25:08 +0000 plantains 271566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6 or 7 weeks we turned a corner for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271564 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:24:12 +0000 lemondrop 271564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-6 months I started to enjoy it.</p> <p>At 8 weeks we started to figure it out, and it wasn't too bad. </p> <p>It took him getting the head and neck control to start sitting up, that made things much easier and I can lay down and feed him, which makes it fairly enjoyable now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271521 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:42:23 +0000 pelikila 271521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 8 or 9 weeks we'd found our rhythm and my body and mind had adjusted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271457 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:58:05 +0000 mediagirl 271457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shimmer: a good friend of mine breastfed twins for 12 months. She suffered through many rough months before they finally got in a good routine. I was so impressed she nursed 2 for so long!! You can do it. As you can tell... it gets easier with time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271453 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:56:05 +0000 mediagirl 271453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: your scenario sounds so much like mine! Now that I am back to it again, I wouldn't give it up for anything. When did I start liking it? 9 weeks or so.</p> <p> I love it when she's feeding, looks up at me and smiles... dribble dribble, dribble. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271416 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:52:18 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 271416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 10 weeks in, once it was totally pain free and we had found a bit of a rhythm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271414 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:45:10 +0000 Shimmer 271414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't say that I hate it at this point (10 days in) as I'm really lucky to have it not hurt that bad... I think once the feedings start spreading out a bit, I'll enjoy it that much more. Right now, we're nursing every 2-3 hours, with a lot of cluster feeding at night :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271413 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:44:25 +0000 erwoo 271413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first it was around 3 months when things were more calm. With my second, it was within a couple of weeks b/c BF'ing was easier second time around. I love it and, yes, love that there's food everywhere we go w/o the weight of carrying bottles and formula. The hard part is always having him with me but I don't mind at all now, especially now that he eats between 3-4 hours now. Makes going out to run errands kid free easier. And it helps my husband learn how to care for two kids when I'm out for a couple of hours. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271412 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:43:18 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 271412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271407 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:33:32 +0000 autumnlove 271407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 3.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-when-did-you-start-liking-breastfeeding#post-271389 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:52:58 +0000 pastemoo 271389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you start liking breastfeeding?</p> <p>First off, big props to my husband who convinced me that I should keep trying... we even introduced formula at the hospital (that lasted about a week or two?) and started pumping after that..</p> <p>Now... I pump maybe once every day or two or three.... and I love breastfeeding. It is so easy to pack up (nothing) to go out somewhere. LOVE it.</p> <p>It was not bad at first but my milk came in late. At 2 weeks it was so painful I went back to the hospital for help. At 6 weeks it was so painful I almost quit (but my husband said NO!) It was still on and off bad at 7 weeks. By 8-9 weeks it's a really special thing and it almost never hurts. Oh and the cute look in LO's eyes? It's unbeatable! </p>
