Even though I have nursed all 3 kids, I didn't recognize that Roman had latched on wrong :( I could have saved myself a lot of pain with this tip! One thing I felt like really helped me a LOT was my beloved Boppy. I am actually buying another one to keep just in my living room. It's a necessary item for me, and I'm tired of having to run upstairs to get the one and only Boppy from Roman's room.

I still remember my OBGYN telling me that I shouldn't breast feed you and your twin brother and that if I did "I would feel like I cow feeding eight hours a day." I was young and dumb and decided not to breast feed you two. And even though you both were born two months early, I later found out I could have frozen the breast milk and used it for a later day. Why didn't anyone tell me I had options? I guess the baby formula I fed you made you SUPER SMART and Dad was able to help in the feedings quite often!

I used the Lansinoh for a bit, but when I ran out I couldn't find it at the store so I tried this avocado/lanolin ointment by NUK that has been fabulous! My advice for new moms (or moms with older kids and new babies!) is always, in any situation, to figure out what works for them and everyone else can suck it. :)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764019184996443389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-89797103343125727652014-06-17T12:04:22.480-07:002014-06-17T12:04:22.480-07:00I love you.

I read Martha and William Sears' "The Breastfeeding Book" and it was great. It talked about all sorts of different holds and preventative measures you can take to be in the best state of mind before your baby even gets here. I found once I read that, the breastfeeding class at the hospital was redundant and not nearly as helpful as the book. Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920444293134532365noreply@blogger.com
