Did having had a caesarean section affect the way you fed?
I don't, not, not to me they the midwife was good and she showed me a couple of alternatives, she showed me the rugby hold which is when you put the baby round the side and it latches on so you, you're not having a baby lying across your stomach. I think maybe because Sophie's quite light and things I didn't find it, you know, a pressure really so I've, tend, I've used it a couple of times but I tended just to use the, traditional hold? I don't know what you call it, just the one where you, lying across?
The cradle hold.
Yeah the cradle hold. Just more often, just because I found that works okay for, for us but that's the only thing I found it difficult a couple of times I couldn't put her back, I lifted her out and probably a couple of times when I shouldn't have because I did feel the pain, but when you've got a crying baby you just, your immediate reaction is to sit up and, and get them. But again being in hospital for the extra couple of days meant the midwife would actually come and place her back in, in her little cot because I struggled to sit up and do that but, other than that I haven't found any difference. And actually I was talking to a friend today who also had a caesarean and she feels the same, a bit like a milk cow of just continual, continual feeding but hasn't had any sort of adverse affect on her, her sort of bonding or wanting to feed, her ability to feed, so from that point no it's not been any, any different really. |
