    Good article and great stories, once you get the hang of breastfeeding (with the right support and encouragement) it’s an amazing experience.

    so familiar – just a bit of advice don’t attend a job interview 10 weeks after giving birth and have the baby looked after just outside the door! the first cry and the shirt was soaked. the guys interviewing me didn’t know where to look! I did get the job though and pumped and fed through the next two years
