hello just want a bit of advice really
i am only 13 weeks preg and i really want to try breastfeeding this time and i wondered is there a certain cream you can use on your nipples that you dont have to wash off evertime you want to feed you lo and also do you use it from the start or just if you get sore?
Also how easy is it to get baby into a rountine? as i have a well he will be 3 when baby is born and i want to make sure i still spend time with him to i dont want to be feeding all the time
bit clueless really to all this so any info would be great
oh i have heard this cream Lansinoh???? nipple cream is very good but any advice on if it is or whats better would also be very helpful
sorry for all the question lol

I think at the beginning it's important to feed on demand to make sure your milk comes in and the supply is established. I have continued to feed on demand and don't really have a routine but a friend of mine has followed Gina Ford (which is VERY routiney and regimented) and is still exclusively breastfeeding at 5 months. So it's definitely possible to have a routine.
A good idea I heard was to go shopping for some special toys with your older child, which you put in a bag, and the bag is only allowed to come out when you are BFing your new baby. That way your older child actually looks forward to you feeding all the time!
Good luck xx
