Dispel-a-Myth Monday: "It's normal to be painful at first"

At a recent meeting of Breastfeeding Supporters in Rhyl, attendees were asked to write (on a Post-It note) a Myth about Breastfeeding which they had heard in their local community.

We had a great response & were able to display them all on a Wall of Myths.

Well, actually - a Door of Myths.

I promised I would make use of them all, and so here they are!

Roughly each week on a Monday, I'll post up a new Dispel-a-Myth-Monday subject - and I hope that you'll help me by battering it down.

Please share widely, as this may help each myth to die (peacefully in it's sleep, surrounded by relatives)

An Amazon, from Greek Mythology

SO - this week's MYTH is:

"It's normal to be painful at first"

Please add a comment below to tell us why this statement is not true.  It's a Myth!

Post a comment on Facebook and I'll add them on here for you.

Here's the first Dispel-a-Myth Monday post, or all such Myth posts.

Dispel-a-Myth posts are now taking a break for August.
