I can’t believe that Sawyer will be here next Month. This pregnancy has just flown by. I’ve got everything ready for him! I’m actually in a state of awe at how prepared I am. The one thing I’m so nervous about though is breastfeeding. See, with Johnny I got so overwhelmed with it that I went into labor wanting it and left the hospital with formula. With Gavin I was older, more mature, and knew how important at least trying to breastfeed was. I lasted a month. I had no support, no proper tools, and no knowledge.
This time I’ve done my research. I’ve looked at all the angles and I have a great pump that I plan on using right from the start. I want to build a stash in case I can’t last. I’ve stocked up on lanolin, pads, you name it. I’ve got the number to a Lactation Consultants and will speak with the department before I leave the hospital. It’s going to be a challenge but this time I’ve got my sleeves pulled back and I’m ready to duke it out no matter the struggle.
One thing that helped me last time was owning a good bra. It was one of the best investments I made. This time I invested in one the moment my regular bras started to feel snug. Believe it or not it just happened to be a Bravado. Since I wasn’t sure what to try and what to get I picked up several kinds from several brands. The nursing bras from Bravado Designs were by far my favorite.

A good bra is so important! I bf with both of mine and struggled very much! Mica had a cyst under his tongue at birth, so it was a challenge. His tongue was under developed on one side. I’m happy it all worked out in the end!
