I'm just going to take the wait and see approach. With lo breastfeeding didn't work for us, and even if #2 has an easier time with it I get migraines and have to take meds.... So I don't know if that will work. So I guess my plan is breastfeed until I get a migraine.

My plan is to do the same thing, Breast feed primarily and supplement with formula if needed

@Espion: I'm a strong believer in things happening for a reason, and that baby feeding doesn't have to be all or nothing with bfing. We have to do what works for our circumstances and family needs the best.
Looking back, I feel very lucky that while our first two months were a big challenge, it also made me much more relaxed in the long run and made me realize that we could do breastfeeding as a relaxing/bonding activity instead of the ONLY way to feed.

EBF for a year, or as long as possible. I BF LO#1 until 8.5 months, when after taking all the special supplements and herbs, drinking my weight in water, living through excruciatingly painful latches and bleeding nipples, buying special double pumps and pumping 8x a day on top of nursing, and struggling through biting, screaming, arching, and refusal to nurse due to an upper lip tie and posterior tongue tie that went undiagnosed until I fought to get her diagnosed and treated properly at 5 months old, all hit me and I went to bed each night sobbing. My supply was so diminished and so difficult to maintain due to LO being unable to properly latch for so long, that when I did stop at 8.5 months, I dried up in 2 days without needing a single feed/ pump to ease any fullness. I'm having the IBCLC who finally caught LO's ULT and PTT come to the hospital to check LO#2's mouth at birth, in hopes of avoiding such complications and difficulty, and having at least a year of nursing.
