Confession

My confession of the day...I love my daughter except when I'm breastfeeding. This was the one thing I thought I'd really enjoy. I was looking forward to it.

She eats like a champ and is gaining weight nicely. But, she is frequently really fidgety, grunts and pulls back, yanking things around that aren't meant to be yanked around.

My boobs are most definitely not enjoying the experience. Sometimes it is so painful it makes me gasp. Sometimes the pain goes away, sometimes it doesn't, but either way, contemplating continuing something that has become so painful, for an entire year is so not making me happy.

I do have an appointment next Monday with a lactation consultant to see if we can rectify the situation or at least get on the right track. And, until then I will muddle on here and try to keep it together.
