Is feeding the second one easier than the first?
Hi,
After a tricky start I BF my DD for 14 months and I'm planning on doing the same for number 2 who's due in January.
I can't help expecting it to be much easier this time and I'm wondering if I'm being a bit naive thinking that.
Share your experiences please second time mummies!
Thanks

This time round I've found it more difficult to get the latch right which has caused quite a bit of discomfort and blisters etc, he's coming up to 4 weeks old now and we've cracked it but sometimes still have to reposition him a couple of times but my attitude to feeding is so different. I have always been very pro breast feeding but I did used to get stressed with constand feeding during growth spurts, wondering whether he was hungry or thinking 'he can't still be hungry'. This time round I'm just so accepting and calm about the whole thing which is lovely.
I'm also totally not bothered about feeding in public. I wasn't that bothered first time round but was a bit of a nervous first time mum, now I feel like an old hand at it and just whip it out wherever and get my baby fed (muslin at the ready for modesty, for averyone else really I'm not that bothered)
Hope it all goes well for you x x x good luck
I haven't had as many problems this time and i'm much more relaxed about bfing. I knew what to expect and it's going more smoothly. I know alot of mummies find it easier second time round.
Good luck!
