I personally found the local nct group a mixed bag, some lovely some not so lovely. I did make some good friends whom are still regular some five yrs on. Overall I think it was a good experience for us all, the kids love being together, some will go on to reception together.
I find it sad and rather offensive when breast feeders are referred to as nazis.
women have breasts for one purpose, to feed babies, thats the only reason.
Breast feeding was often boring, occasionally painful, helped enormously with bonding as if i could have left my boy with someone else to feed i would have, which with hindsight was not a good idea as
i did not particularly like my boy, he was an excessive cryer.
I think my attachment to my boy would have been impaired if i had not breastfed.
my experience was totally different with my 2nd child & breast feeding was actually more satisfying, this child was very calm though.
breast feeding for a year each was easy, i am happy to say the attachment i feel for both children is equal.
As a young mum, i do think that breastfeeding is not seen as the norm’ there is little support & less informed choice.
