Although I struggle with production - I had breast reduction surgery back in 2010 - and have to supplement with formula, I do put her to breast first. Even a little is better than none.</p> <p>@Amelieisme: She's lucky she's so cute ;)</p> <p>@Smurfette: Oh it kills me. Because I'm literally trying to hold her head still so she can't rear back and pull and all she does is just twist that little head, which in turn twists my nipples. There's no winning unless I unlatch her early, which tends to wake her and start the whole process all over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693851 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:02:33 +0000 Smurfette 693851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: love it!! Reagan stretches and pulls on my nipples too. Hurts!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693847 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:00:46 +0000 boiledpnut 693847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it sucks, but nursing is much more than just feeding the baby. What she's doing is good for both of you. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693789 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:38:11 +0000 Amelieisme 693789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too funny. Funny how such a little, precious creature can torture you so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693782 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:37:10 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 693782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: Thanks. I want to make her happy but at the same time, she's killing me. It's making me cringe a little whenever she is actually hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693778 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:36:09 +0000 purrpletulips 693778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this. Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-miss-em#post-693752 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 693752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know. I'm warm. I'm comfy. I cuddle you close and I produce milk on those occassions when you want more than just a pacifier. But when all you want to do is sleep and the only way I can get you to sleep is by putting you to my breast so you can suckle? We have a problem. I know, I know, the pacifiers just aren't doing it for you but I'd like to remind you, I'm not a pacifier either. I can't just stay in your mouth the entire time you sleep, comforting you. I know we do this at night right now so that mommy can get a little sleep herself but during the day? I have so much more to do. I have to keep up with your big brother for one. I have to eat and use the bathroom for two. I would like, every once in a while, to just sit and rest without either munchkin needing my arms and attention.<br /> Which means we're going to have to stop this. You're going to have to learn to go to sleep with a pacifier or not at all because honey? If you keep it up, my nipples are going to fall off. If for no other reason than because every time you're asleep and decide to stretch? You clamp down with your toothless little bite and pull. And stretch. And my poor boobs can't take much more of that. So here's your advance warning. Starting next week, we're cracking down on this problem. You have a few days to start making the necessary adjustments.<br /> Love,<br /> Me </p>
