Getting to my goal – Erin’s story

The following is an excerpt. Please click the title above to read the entire story.

My daughter was born 6 weeks early. I wasn’t prepared for how that would effect my efforts for breastfeeding. I assumed that I would have a normal birth, be able to put her to the breast and maybe have some of the normal difficulties that most mothers experience. I ended up have a c-section and having her whisked away after seeing her briefly and not to see her again till the next day. The nurse that night asked me if I wanted to pump then or in the morning. Not knowing how much it could affect my milk supply I said I would wait till the morning and get one last full nights sleep.
