ds3 is 4 days old and norks feel like theyre gonna fall off. got the jordans, and he tries to feed well but bless 'im, hes not doing v well and can only latch on to nipple, hence blisters and PAIN...
am hopefully having the lactation consultant woman come and 'snip' the tongue soon(tomorrow?? please?), which is apparently no big deal for him at this stage and will make everything better... just wanted to know if any of you out there have had a sim experience and any words of wisdom/advice/support (abuse?)

hehe. i was only teasing...

actually my mother is one of those 'nuts' (oh, shes a nut in sooooo many ways ), so its nothing new to me, the whole extended bfing thing. hey, each to their own and good on 'em i say!
personally think i'll be over it by about weaning stage, thats what i did first two times and that seems to be reasonable.

and yes, he is guzzling away thanks . unfortunately, he is still lazy about opening his mouth properly so latches on a bit painfully, just to keep me on my toes like

i dont really know what to do about that though, as following advice doesnt seem to get me anywhere, so i ignore it and do it my way and just end up getting the same advice over again, which dunt bloody work!!

oh well. good thing im hard as nails and can take the pain
