It is really hard work. I am ...I feel you sister. It is really hard work. I am glad you got it worked out and didn't give up. When it's good (the latch, the supply, etc.) it is really good and it is such a great time with the baby. I think that we should all get a party at the end of breastfeeding to congratulate ourselves (and have more than one drink!) and I think we deserve what I am now calling a "Pump Prize."Meg Griswoldhttp://blog.grizzy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927196627342610520.post-5806327452902992432012-02-14T07:48:32.761-08:002012-02-14T07:48:32.761-08:00Kara,
I don't know if you ever read Having Fa...Kara, <br />I don't know if you ever read Having Faith, by Sandra Steingraber, but it will renew your faith in breastmilk if it ever flags...such a tremendous gift you are giving Ray. It's worth all the work. I can't believe doctors used to think that formula would be the best food for babies...it was certainly easier on the mamas, but not better for the kiddos. With everything that Ray will have to face in this world, in his life, you are giving him the best start possible. Keep up the great WORK, and yes, it is WORK!<br />--susan<br />(I breastfed and pumped for a total of 33 months over course of two kids, with help of lactation consultants and lots of high-calorie snacks!)C-C Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273694895469014031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927196627342610520.post-7119253139981314072012-02-10T07:24:13.397-08:002012-02-10T07:24:13.397-08:00I'm so glad you are working with Jackie---she ...I'm so glad you are working with Jackie---she is AMAZING and seriously she is the only reason Jake is a breast-fed baby :) I had a really really hard time bfing and had to pump to get my supply up for several weeks. It was so hard and it felt like the challenge of it would never end. I was so envious of the moms that it seemed so easy for. It was physically and emotionally SO difficult. The good news is IT GETS BETTER! It was probably about8 weeks in that it got a lot easier and now at 6 mo in, its cake and funny to think that I ever found it challenging. Keep up the good work--you're giving Ray the very best care he could possibly get! Looking forward to seeing you soon!The White Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028172477622781280noreply@blogger.com
