Re: breast feeding new mum cries for help

Congratulations on your new born!

We had similar experience with our daughter when she arrived. It was difficult to begin with as both mother and child need to get used to each other and to discover how this whole breast feeding malarky works.
It can take a little while so some patience is needed.

You can try looking at La Leche Liga (google it) they offer a lot of advice on breast feeding, your midwife should also be able to offer some advice and I'm sure there are plenty of mum's on the EF that will come and offer you some help here.

One thing we found to be important was not to make yourself a slave to the baby's feeding patterns but to try to set feeding times at regular intervals, not be available "on tap".

EDIT, try here too: http://www.stillberatung.ch/ (in English too) and here is the contacts page: http://www.stillberatung.ch/index.ph...d=15&Itemid=37
