Breastfeeding Myths

[stillplayswithbarbies]

I came across two good articles, and based on some recent threads about breastfeeding thought that people might like to read these.

The first one addresses the "social myths" about breastfeeding (including the one about "breastfeeding will make your breasts sag":

The second one addresses some technical myths, such as whether it should hurt at first:

Thanks, Karen! Those articles are very interesting and it's affirming to know that we're doing things the right way, huh?

Karen:

Thanks for this. We even discussed some these at my last La Leche meeting. I really don't care about what others say, but to me bfing is just what my instincts tell me what to do. I can see how it may not be the right choice for others, but it really angers me when people try to tell me how I should feed my child.

And also thanks for the boob advice in the Mommy Fit forum. Here's to hoping that my pre-pregnancy perkiness will stay. ;)
