Our capacity to nourish babies, nourish life with our breasts blows me away. I'm so glad you heard what you needed to give you confidence in that, and found the support to keep you going. : )Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332031257617288696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-18544503237139897322009-11-27T17:26:13.876-08:002009-11-27T17:26:13.876-08:00I am amazed at your strength and tenacity!

Both of my nipple were inverted and she had a good latch. But every time i nursed i cried because i was in excruciating pain. It hurt becuase the tissues holding my nipples in were being streached... then i was cracked and bleeding because my nipples were used to being inverted. it took two months to be able to nurse without the pain. My mom didnt think that i would be able to stick with it, but to this day im still nursing my first (now 2) and my newborn!<br />thanks for sharing your story!Amberlea Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440641612352662203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-78113097289253894992009-11-10T10:54:49.679-08:002009-11-10T10:54:49.679-08:00That was beautiful and you are a wonderful wonderf...That was beautiful and you are a wonderful wonderful mother!!Mary Sieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099008932777170372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-13451570409488183662009-11-09T23:20:42.153-08:002009-11-09T23:20:42.153-08:00I loved reading your story.

I thought breastfeeding would be easy, and for 6 weeks I stuggled with the pain you did - cracked nipples, bleeding, bracing for the pain, bc I was told I had a good latch. I finally went to get help, and found I didn't have a good latch and had to re-teach K all over again. It was so hard, but in the end here we are 5 months into it, and still only breastfeeding! Good for you for sharing this story, and keeping with it!Emily - faliLVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715606659804267507noreply@blogger.com
