This is hard to explain so please bare with me. When I had my DD I found the thought and process of breastfeeding her uncomfortable and I only managed to do it twice before successfully expressing milk for her for 6 months. Before I had her I had never been around or known anyone that had breast fed.
Now many years later I am expecting my second child and I am determined to breast feed this time. In the interim years I have been surrounded by friends who have breast fed and I feel more comfortable about the idea but I am still very anxious about it.
I am hoping to go on a workshop and I have spoken to friends about their experiences but I wondered if anyone else had had these anxieties and went on to feed successfully or if there was anything else I could do to prepare?
