I ended up renting a double pump and have been giving the girls a rest until they heal. I also got a prescription ointment to speed the recovery along. I'm hoping to get him back on the boob by Monday or Tuesday.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509305523940634182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1146925268606757182006-05-06T10:21:00.000-04:002006-05-06T10:21:00.000-04:00I went through the same thing with my nipples at f...I went through the same thing with my nipples at first, it was pure torture. But now at 4 weeks, the nursing has gotten 100 times better and my nips are barely sore at all! I also read to try to get some sun on your breasts for a few minutes a day to help with the soreness, you should see me topless on my back porch after nursing! heehee!girl from floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337971608743389430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1146918646315264432006-05-06T08:30:00.000-04:002006-05-06T08:30:00.000-04:00I love the first picture of him, with the towel! ...I love the first picture of him, with the towel!

There are moments, like first thing in the morning when I go in to pick her up out of her crib, when I feel like my heart is literally going to burst with love right out of my chest. It's impossible to imagine or describe how raw and emotional the journey of motherhood is. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy and keep us "posted" on how the breastfeeding is going. As a fair skinned red-head, I know your pain! It does get better as they master the latch and you toughen up, at least it did for me. Hopefully the LLL will have some good advice for you. <BR/><BR/>Take care!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956355582644290894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1146682723853113822006-05-03T14:58:00.000-04:002006-05-03T14:58:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear your boobies are sore.

Then again, three yearsa go, I would have thrown my drink at you if you told me I was going to be married, pregnant and living in a small town in CANADA.<BR/><BR/>Max is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.<BR/><BR/>Big ultrasound tomorrow for me..hoping doc will slip and tell us what it is although Steve doesn't want to know. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your experience though, good or bad.

I was like you with Kiana, in a lot of discomfort, until my mom's friend a L.L.L leader came over and made a slight adjustment for me with the latch and voila! no more pain at all! He is adorable!Miss Missehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378599630819079106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025297.post-1146661722760772082006-05-03T09:08:00.000-04:002006-05-03T09:08:00.000-04:005:10am!
