Look at these many positions for breast feeding.
There are no rules, anything is possible!

Mother love

Have just finished working with a single mother of 7 children
It was busy in the house and sometimes a bit crazy
It was not perfect but the most important element was present:-
LOVE.
That mother loved her children and was totally in love with her new baby.
Sometimes we may not have everything that the world thinks is important but when we have love for our children they thrive and grow.
She also breast fed every one of them!

Motivation

Haven't blogged for a while due to being busy
Just finished working with a Dutch family who really wanted to breast feed their first baby
The baby was slightly premature and very sleepy
The mother had a painful, swollen episiotomy wound
The odds were against us
After finger feeding for 3 days the baby finally went onto the breast but kept falling asleep!
After 10 days and lots of patience he is feeding and putting on weight
It just needed time and lots of patience

If the motivation is there you will succeed!

Familie van Parijs

Cycled to work in the snow today
Lovely French family and nice big baby of 4 kilos
Feeding beautifully at 2 days old stimulating mothers milk to come in and receiving antibodies and protein in colostrum
Au Revoir.

Yes we did it!

My last mother had problems feeding as her nipples were inverted
However, if a mother has motivation to breastfeed she will!
By day 7 after trying nipple shields, expressing and finger feeding the baby suckled at the breast
Patience worked
