Hi ladies.
Been gone since miss Quinn arrived. I really wanna put a pic but will have to do it from fhe laptop and I haven't had a chance. We just got home today about mid-day and if you didn't guess I'm up with her to let DH sleep some since he's back at work tomorrow ( he works from home so it's no biggie) I've been breastfeeding but it has been a challenge. Big boob, giant nipples , little mouth. We had to use a shield so little miss gets very frustrated at what she gets and the speed she gets it.
Thank god for great nurses and lacatation ladies. We came home with a big nice rented pump and it's working for us for now. Hopefully in the next day or so my milk comes in and I can get ahead of the game because for right now it's pump as hubby soothes and immediately feed.
I know I saw a post or two about guilt in wanting to quit bf'ing. If it is stressing you out that much quit. I was on the edge today. 2nd night -- cluster feeds for an hour or more so she could get enough to statisfy her. I was done. I got a good hour sleep when she went out to the doc and nursery for test stuff and had a great lacatation lady talk to me and GET it. She really did. It was what I needed. I hope to continue and do it for a while but I am taking it a day at a time.
Hope I can get back on today and talk some more. (And post her adorable face).
