WEEK 2
D9-16
Now I am a little perturbed with him not latching and having to retrain him all over again. There were some days I contemplated quitting. I mean, why not? It's not like my life (mom of 4 other children) didn't warrant the white flag. I KEPT GOING. I made some calls to a few of my lactation friends, ate some lactation cookies and kept feeding him.
After the cycle of healing and then reopening nipple scabs, I finally gave in and bought a nipple shield (didn't really want to because I know they are temporary). I think I may have used it all of 3x. The third time using it, baby Adam and I were so frustrated with it that I threw it across the room.
Bye Bye
nipple shield. He latched pretty good after that.
WEEK 3: By week three we were "cooking with HOT grease".
No issues except the lethargic 2am feedings. Thank you God for husbands (Omar:)
Baby Adam and I are sharing the same mood:(
Or falling asleep sitting up lol (fuzzy times)
