Thanks Celtic - I'm glad it gets better. The midwife said he is latching perfectly. I guess it's just (most peoples
) nipples aren't used to being sucked so often so they need to get used to it. Once they toughen up I reckon it will be ok.
I will definitely persevere because it's lovely to be able to feed him. I'm a bit in awe about how much milk I'm producing and how he just takes it, it's really amazing actually what our bodies do. Apart from the birth bit - that's just f**king stupid, they could have made a much easier option, like a door on your belly, we could check baby and jut take him out at 40 weeks!!
I have the lansinoh stuff - it's fab! My mum also got me some nipple sheilds which worked great but are too big for my nipples so she's getting me some smaller ones. They just give a bit of relief while they toughen up!
I hope you get it easier this time...
Kell I hope it's ov time. Baby Jesus has worn one of his outfits! It's too big but he puked on EVERYTHING and so we had to use some of the bigger stuff. So cute!! I'll take a pic next time and send it to you. He wears his little diddy socks too
Yazzy your business plans and house plans sound so exciting! I am sure you can make a real success of it all.
My relationship with OH was a bit weird throughout pregnancy, we weren't as close, I didn't like to be cuddled etc and sex was hardly at the front of my mind! But he was so great during the birth and so wonderful with Sammuel it's all good now
Obviously sex is now even further from the front of my mind! But that's ok... We'll do it again one day - maybe in a couple of years
