Breastfeeding with Skylar

I just passed my one year nurse anniversary with Skylar.  I hadn't planned on breastfeeding Skylar. 2 months before she was born my friend Tiffany talked to be about breastfeeding. So I went to a class.  The class was at the same hospital I had Karlee, I was expecting  the class to go badly. Instead the nurse was very informative.  Answered all my questions.   She stated that the hospital is not the same as 5 years ago.   I then researched on my own through Google and Facebook groups.  I truly believed that breastfeeding was the best way to go this time.  On 3/13/2013 @ 812am Skylar was born weighing 6lb 5 oz and 18 3/4 inches. She was tiny and my boobs were huge!  The difference in the hospital was so awesome. As soon as I got in recovery they brought me Skylar. I had her in my arms within 30 minutes.  The nurse scooped her up and put her on my boob. The first latch was so great.  I was in ah.  Every question I had they helped me.  They helped the baby latch until I had it down.  The first 6 weeks was so hard but so rewarding. I also quit smoking cigarettes the day Skylar was born. So I thank Landon for being the stable one making sure breastfeeding was successful!  The journey has been awesome.
