breastfeed & bottle feed
trust me |
I am on it!! I have ten more days until my nipples callous up, then I will pull out my trusty pump.

Your nipples are swollen/soft from giving birth?
EDIT: that was a dumb question of course they're swollen if they are full of milk lol
|
Oh, they are sore from the breast feeding. He sucks on them for 6-20 minutes every hour and a half to 2 hours

Wifey, have you tried soothies by Lansinoh? They are kinda like hydrogel pads that soothe chaffed nipples. Also if you have some put them in the freezer before use...trust me it feels amazing. Lanolin Creme also works well. It gets better after week 2. I wanted to quit but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Make sure you have support because it makes a world of difference when you want to give up breastfeeding.

I have their lanolin cream, but not the soothies. That sounds amazing! My boobs are tight, hard and heavy. since my milk has come in. Ibuprofen is helping with the discomfort. I have not hit wall yet, but I will turn to my buddies and you ladies when I need to

OP,
God bless you and every other woman on the face of this earth who has WILLINGLY gone through childbirth.
This thread has me about to tape my stuff up with electrical tape and superglue, never to see the light of day again.
No ma'am.
Congrats on the babeh! Please show him this thread for his 18th birthday LOL!

I am sorry to add to any negative perceptions of child birth because it was amazing, it really was! But birth is also very violent!

now that the blessing that is Hezekiah is here....let me speak on behalf of a child that is only a day old. I know Hezekiah would want me to say this tho....Please don't short change this child by giving him combo-gifts. This is coming from a holiday child. It is scornful and hurtful. Please....please bless this child with separate birfday and xmas gifts. Many Blessings, NewD. |
I wouldn't! I am so glad he was not born on his original due date of 12-25 though. That would have been tough!!! I definitely want him to focus on the birth of Christ and what that means for the world. This is such a wonderful time of year! I am glad he came during the holiday season <3
|
that's all I ask.  yeah...12/25....that would have been...tough to say the least.
