The Nursing Corner
A lot of people think nursing is the easiest, most natural experience in the world. For some people it is, but for others it takes a little more effort to get things working smoothly. These stories show that even if things don't exactly start off as planned, if you have the right support and information you can usually work things out and go on to have a beautiful and rewarding nursing relationship.

When I was having problems with my own nursing relationships it would have meant a lot to read about somebody going through the same things. By putting up this page, I hope to help support other people going through problems. Please help me by sending in your own stories - e-mail them to me at angel@snugglebaby.com
