Mamascarf- The Breastfeeding Diaries

It's day 5 of the breastfeeding diaries and we have a guest post from Clare from Baby Abroad.

There are certain memories that will always stick with me from breastfeeding. One is eating cherry bakewells swiftly one after another as I was starving the whole time - a pleasant memory that can be relived via the wonderful Mr Kipling. The other is with my second daughter, breastfeeding her while we were having our extension completed. She arrived among chaos, the weekend that they knocked through a stone wall (I was assured the whole thing would have been finished months before she arrived!). Thank goodness she was my second, as I pretty calm through the whole thing. I wish I had known about the mamascarf then though - it would have saved the builders' embarrassment for sure!

I have a tip for new mums feeding - it's the babysday book (www.babysday.co.uk ) - it's a notebook for recording feeding/sleeping/play/cry times etc. It's great for when your baby brain has forgotten when the last feed was or which boob they had last - I bought one for my sister-in-law who had twins recently - she found it to be excellent especially when the midwife wanted to check their feeding/number of wet nappies etc.

Don't forget to keep sending your stories in to me, Keira at info@mamascarf.co.uk .
