1. Do you plan to pump? Not in big amounts... I will at first for engorgment and then I will to have milk to bottlefeed when we go out, as I'm not a public breastfeeder.
2. Do you have a lactation consultant at your hospital? Yes, on the weekdays. I've only ever saw the NICU one though to give me tips on nursing a preemie and to make sure I was latching him right.... I didn't really need her help but they have you under microscope at the NICU.
3. Do you plan to wear nursing clothes? Maybe a nursing bra.... probably not though.
4. How long do you see yourself breastfeeding for? Til baby self weans or at 2-ish. My successful breastfeeder went on for 14 months and she self weaned, despite my sadness LOL...
5. Is your family, dh/so, etc. supportive of breastfeeding? Umm... No straight answer here... I think some are and some just feel uncomfortable with the thought... but whatever. They try their bests to act like they are fine with it... and I am very modest... so.

1. Do you plan to pump? Not right away

1. Do you plan to pump? I am going to try and pump some with this baby to get s/he used to an occasional bottle. My son would never take a bottle, so I only pumped to help engorgement.
2. Do you have a lactation consultant at your hospital? There are a few on staff there.
3. Do you plan to wear nursing clothes? No way! Too expensive! I would always wear a cami under my shirts when I was nursing my son so I could pull my shirt up and the cami down and I would not be exposed. I hope to do the same thing this time.
4. How long do you see yourself breastfeeding for? Well, I nursed my son until he was 2.5 and then he weaned on his own. Hopefully I am lucky enough to BF this baby until s/he weans on their own.
5. Is your family, dh/so, etc. supportive of breastfeeding? Yes. Everyone is very supportive. I have a few weird family members who didn't like it, but to each their own. Once he got older, people always gave me a hard time about weaning him. It seems so taboo to nurse past 1, but it's what worked for us.
