Time consuming but it has been worth it. So much less pain and I have a full baby or full milk storage bag by the end of it. I also have to massage out any lumps during feeding/expressing.

It has been very hard and I am only continuing through a lot of determination and working through the tears. She has been asleep on my chest for a good 45 minutes after a feed. That makes me forget the hard part.

You had a baby girl! Congratulations!!! Carmen is a gorgeous name

I'm going to battle through too, he's a week old
tomorrow so I'm just going to try and focus on the fact that in 2 or 3 weeks things WILL be better xx
