It's quite a relief for my boobs to go from 8 feedings to 3 per day. But they are so damned sensitive this time! Last week we all had a cold, Andréas latch were probably poor and whoops! A little crack on my right nipple and there she was vomiting my blood again. Uak! Well, she wont have an iron deficiency that's for sure! I do hope she gets enough nutrients considering I decreased the breastfeeding kind of hastily but she seems to be pretty satisfied and she sure has a lot of energy. Just take a look at this video clip of her in the "nanny" (well worth the 40 bucks!):
Since my technical scills are limited you have to tilt your head to the left... Sorry...
I´m proud and happy I'm still breastfeeding her. It's been so pain- and stressful and more than once I felt like running to the pharmacy to buy a jar of formula. Since it's the first 6 months that the benefits of breastfeeding are the greatest I do feel more relaxed now. Pat on my shoulder!
Now I have to get some sleep. The past week and a half Andréa's been waking up way to many times during the nights. Probably because of her cold but nonetheless IT SUCKS! Goodnight!
Good for you Karin to stick with it so long considering. I don't know that I would have been such a trooper. I am slightly jealous that your down to three feeds a day. Looking forward to cutting back myself and finally getting the little monkey out of my bed at night.
