Now my younger daughter (Kierra) is already 9 months old when I started this blog and I had been tandem nursing since her birth. This blog is set up for the sole purpose of recording my breastfeeding journey in Singapore and aims to share tips to help other mothers breastfeed successfully.

What I notice however, is that there are a couple of things that new mothers should know about breastfeeding before they give birth, so that they don't get too disappointed or unsure when people who have never breastfed start to question them.

Breastfeeding while it comes naturally, is really a learned skill. For new mothers who are breastfeeding for the first time, the most important thing is to acknowledge that breastfeeding is not something that you will definitely get it right the first time.
