Kim,
How wonderful that the two of you could resume your nursing relationship. It
definitely helps after the birth of a sibling.
Both my children who weaned during pregnancy asked to nurse following the
birth of their sibling. I let them, but they couldn't remember what to do.
They gave a giggle after trying, but I was very sad. After nursing for at
least 2 years, they couldn't remember what to do after a month or two of not
nursing.
I have often wondered about cultures where women do not wear bras. I assume
their breasts aren't as sensitive. Does this help in the initial weeks of
breastfeeding? I know, it's positioning that is important. I am always
telling moms that breastfeeding should not hurt, and it's important to have
proper positioning. I do wonder about this though because for me after the
first two weeks or so, positioning doesn't matter. The baby could dangle off
my breast (like the gymnastics of a nursing toddler) and it does not bother
me. Of course, I do not let my newborns dangle, but I think you get the
idea! Just wondering.
Aloha,
