Hi, and welcome to the site. I'm Rachel, mum to three boys, Ethan (7), Noah (almost 5) and Joseph (3), all of whom I breastfed with varying degrees of sucess.
Your username is really apt! That is a fantastic achievement to not only have sucessfully fed your own children, but also to donate to the scbu and make a real difference to poorly babies. I truly hope that you manage to overcome these early difficulties that you're having again and go on with your second daughter as you did your first.
When I had my first, I had terrible problems getting started. Incredibly painful cracked nipples that bled, and problems getting a correct latch. I was on the verge of giving up when it all fell into place for me. You should be truly proud of yourself for continuing in the face of all that was thrown at you, as that would be very difficult for anyone. I'm sure that your strength of character and determination will see you through again. Well done - you are an inspiration to women who want to feed!
Hope to see you around the site more.
