She's gorgeous Danna, and I've been having trouble keeping up also, been so busy.
Heather, have you considered trying a nipple shield? Claire was a vigorous sucker at first also and by the time I left the hospital my nipples were cracked, bleeding, had bruising, and blisters. I used the shield and used lots of lanolin to help them recover, only took 3 days, but it helped tremendously.
I had low iron my entire pregnancy Frustrated, I just continued to take my prenatal and iron pill after the birth.
He's gorgeous Sakura!
Claire is 2 weeks already, I can't believe it! She already looks so different from when she was born. Adjusting to life with 3 is a challenge.
