Hi....I have been breastfeeding for 7 months now. I am also a working mother. I find that my milk supplying is reducing. Would like to continue breastfeeding until the baby is at least 12 months old. How do I maintain my milk supply?
I'm a mom of three children. All breastfed - not without problems, but it was a wonderful experience creating a very close relationship between us.Breastfeeding isn't just feeding & providing protection against illness, it is an amazingly intimate relationship between you & your child, also providing your child with the sense of security they need to venture out into their ever expanding world. Truly amazing is the sense of pride you feel when looking at your growing baby & knowing that from the time of conception everything has come from you. My 1st birth was accelerated & 2nd induced - both extremely painful. For my 3rd, I stayed at home for most of my labour & found that just my moving around & getting myself into different positions the labour was so much more bearable. I would actually say I enjoyed that labour. Following that I developed a keen interest in active birth - so different to everything that I learnt during my midwifery training.
I have a passion to help mothers to try & achieve the kind of birth they would like & to help them breastfeed their babies successfully. This is now my work & probably also my hobby as it involves almost all of my time.
