Breastfeeding is Hard

Breastfeeding is hard. It's certainly not as easy as people think. It takes a while to get used to it. Breastfeeding hurts! Its draining. It's not often people share their bad experiences breastfeeding.
But once you get it working right, its all good!

There is alot of pressure on women these days to breastfeed, and some mothers feel guilty if they cant breastfeed. I apologise if Breastmates Limited intimidates any mothers or if the Breastmates Limited makes any mothers feel guilty for not breastfeeding. Please do what ever is right for yourself and your family, you should be proud that you have a happy and healthy baby.

We have prepared some tips on bottle feeding as well as some tips to help breastfeeding work for you. It can be really really hard for mothers to find information on formula or bottle feeding because the World Health Organisation does not permit any advertising for formula for infants under 6 months of age. Please Note that i am not advertising formula to you. http://www.breastmates.co.nz/adv_bottle_feeding_baby_tips.html

If you do need advice on breastfeeding, a little encouragement, some products to help with breastfeeding or just a listening ear (via email), that is what Breastmates is here for, and I can help you.

I am proud that I have been able to breastfeed both of my children, and I would like to be able to help you do the same for your baby.

Here's a recent Pop Art style picture of my two sons. Son#2 is just on 5 months old and loves his boobie juice.
