Last night I had a really rough night. I had previous rough feedings, but this morning at 4 something in the morning, he just fought my breast off, and wouldn't eat. The other time it happened, after a one hour scream fit (I'm not talking crying, I'm talking screaming), he finally latched and ate. But today, early morning, he just wouldn't. It's frustrating.

... very frustrating.

To the point of crying on my behalf. It's been a very emotional last 24 hours.

I let him fall back asleep and he didn't have that feeding. I felt really guilty. I almost prepared formula for him, which I DIDN'T want to have to do. I am really for this breastfeeding business.

So I called a lady on the Consultant's list that the hospital gave me. I spoke to her late this afternoon, and she listened to me, asked questions, and then decided it was best for her to come tonight.

It was the best 80$ I have spent in a long time.

She weighed the baby, checked the baby, and he has dropped a few more ounces. Nothing to worry about, or she would have sent us to the hospital. He does have a slight tint of jaundice, but that will go away, now that she has shown me how to breastfeed properly. I feel soooo much more confident now about feeding my son. I was NOT doing it properly. Not at all. He was getting food, just not enough. And it was painful. The nurses at the hospital during my stay were useless. One nurse shoved my boob in my son's face and then left. The service was horrible while I was there, when it came to the nurses. I think it's because they were CRAZY busy, and overwhelmed.

I am so happy that she came over tonight. I think I can sleep easier knowing that my son will get to eat properly from now on, and I know how to give him my breast, and how for him to latch on properly, so that it's not painful for me, or for him. I hope this will result in less screaming fits on his behalf!



She had this really cool "prop" with her, it was a knitted boob! You heard me correctly - a knitted breast! It was so she could show me how to squeeze and hold my breast, and all that jazz. It actually really did look like this breast in the picture to the left. I asked her if she had made it herself, and she told me that she occasionally knits. Tres cool! I was very impressed. I never have seen something THIS creative before! (I googled online, you can actually find patterns to knit a breast!) (Not that I'll ever need to! HA HA!)


I have a lot of learning to do - but I think that it will all come in due time!

It never fails - getting peed on while changing the diaper! Why do babies wait until you take off their dirty one to pee??

{To anyone I owe an email or comment back to - I will get to it tomorrow while Sean naps. I will have some time to do that then! Until then, I am going to go feed my son, and then go to sleep - I need it!}
