I'm starting to get a little relief with the diflucan, but I was laughing earlier of the image of an infant snuggling into his mother's chest. Matt's all like root, scream, latch, suck, pop off, repeat. Not exactly the same heartwarming picture, but he is the light of my life, nonetheless!Mary Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824126863989183673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250495008899886844.post-26784503544676432622016-03-17T14:59:38.886-07:002016-03-17T14:59:38.886-07:00Also you are doing an amazing job feeding your spa...Also you are doing an amazing job feeding your spawn :DRoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917779656360840633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250495008899886844.post-27052646060718962822016-03-17T14:58:34.545-07:002016-03-17T14:58:34.545-07:00It sucks how women are trained not to take their o...It sucks how women are trained not to take their own pain and needs seriously. It took me a really long time to enjoy breastfeeding but I did get there, and yes it hurt a lot for 6 weeks, probably started enjoying around 6 mths. Both my boys stopped going to sleep feeding pretty early on and then went back to it months later. The only thing you can count on with kids and breastfeeding is change (really just kids in general).

As much as I hate to see them grow up so fast, I'm excited for beyond the 4th trimester.

We started off with a nice chunk gouged out of my nipple and I'm pretty sure I noticed my boobs every moment of the day until she was around three months old. All I can say is that it does get better and, possibly, more enjoyable. Matt will learn, the popping off will pass (not fast enough and seriously, who knew nipples could stretch so far?!), and the boobs will definitely become less sensitive over time. You are not bad at this at all, in fact, of you've stick with it through all of that, I'd say the opposite is true. You're doing great, mama!Brandi R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03117693879830129253noreply@blogger.com
