Hi All, Just from personal experience, I have to say that I haven't noticed a correlation between gender and breastfeeding difficulties. I seem to be in a minority, but then I am not an LC. Birth order, however, is very significant I think (pretty obviously). My personal experience is that both my girls were utter *nightmares* to nurse, but my son is a dream in comparison. -- Anna H. mailto: [log in to unmask] http://www.ratbag.demon.co.uk/anna/ *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
