i feel the same when i had my second child i desperately wanted to breastfeed after he was born they put him on my boob and never did anyone come to ask me how he was feeding. After a week of intense agony when i had to literally stop breathing when i was putting him on for pain(obviously i was doing it wrong from the start) i decided to give up as the pain was unbearable. i think that they should get people on the wards to spend an hour or so with each mum to make sure they are doing everything propely more mums would breastfeed and countinue to do so. nothing against the midwives as they do a fantastic job and they havent got time to deal with this problem.
