I was sure we were going to fail but thanks to sheer stubborness on my part and the help of some wonderful family and professionals, we mastered nursing and I went on the nurse my son for 3 3/4 years!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920584143710023766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-42438724388193180642009-10-16T21:48:35.704+02:002009-10-16T21:48:35.704+02:00I'm nursing my 3-month old daughter, and I tot...I'm nursing my 3-month old daughter, and I totally agree with you that it take a lot of will to NOT give up! I seemd to have "mastered" the latching too, but since a couple days I'm feeling sore, and figuring out whether its just soreness or any of the 100 other common nursing problems like plugged ducts, milk blisters, fatigue, etc, etc!!<br /><br />but there's plenty of light at the end of the tunnel, so mothers, never give up!!:)<br /><br />great post Hilda!Mansihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01109414198476017680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-14517192863746798932009-10-16T08:24:10.766+02:002009-10-16T08:24:10.766+02:00Oh I can SO relate to ur story! my baby is 16 mos....Oh I can SO relate to ur story! my baby is 16 mos. old now and seems like yesterday I was feeding, struggling with it!! <br />I had to do a combo, but things are fine, touchwood! <br />Good luck with everything.Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219295365602655534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-31954522357037978842009-10-15T23:41:26.657+02:002009-10-15T23:41:26.657+02:00This is like reading my own story - especially the...This is like reading my own story - especially the part where the baby falls asleep while nursing and not gaining enough weight. My son would latch fine and nurse for the first couple of minutes, then doze off, I would have to wake him up, nurse him nurse, he would go right back to sleep - oh, it was a never-ending cycle, he was such a lazy feeder !!<br />Everything turned out ok within a couple of months.<br /><br />KGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-11864924088583580232009-10-15T19:57:11.537+02:002009-10-15T19:57:11.537+02:00I nursed my daughter till she was seven month, wou...I nursed my daughter till she was seven month, would have done it longer , but i devoloped a infection on my breast so had to stop.<br />When i breastfed her here most of the new moms said why i should do that, but i did it as i loved it.<br />And when i went to India wheh she was 4 months old my sisters mother in law remarked how my daughter was looking really healthy even though she don't have formula, which i thought was a wonderful remark too.<br />Oh yeah but i agree with deeba i am so so glad those times are over.<br />FOr me the sleepless nights till she was four was .......<br />But must say would never miss it for anything in the world at all.Finlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122357811540919609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-90482208077159005552009-10-15T18:23:01.364+02:002009-10-15T18:23:01.364+02:00I'm with you & all the agony of motherhood...I'm with you & all the agony of motherhood Hilda. It's been 13 years, and I can still feel the pain. My daughter was a forceps baby & I was in agonosing pain with 40 stitches & just couldn't keep up. She was eventually bottle fed because I developed further problems. My poor hub shared the agony & was always racing around, breast pump & all. UGH...I'm glad it's over!!Deeba PABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333008494519621noreply@blogger.com
