I really hope I'm able to breast feed my son!! With my first I felt very frustrated and gave up!!! I…

I was the same with my first two. This time I have been more relaxed (even though we started in NICU with a feeding tube) and no problems so far - 5 months. yay!

@mamamj, any tips that helped you this time?

everyone told me I was going to fail, so I was slightly hell bent on proving everyone wrong. but also, I let them sleep through the night, if they wanted from the get go and I supplemented with bottles/formula during the night so my husband could help. this time I just bucked up and did not let him sleep through the night and I always nursed him when he wakes at night. I also pumped after he was born to relieve the engorgement, but I HAD to since I wanted him to be on exclusively breastmilk in NICU

I also feed him on demand, I don't do a schedule.
