| Hi Ai Li...
CONGRATS!!!!
You didn't get the epidural! Wow, that's amazing! I couldn't
stand the contractions.. and you were in labour for 19hrs!
Even after BF my first daughter, my nipples still hurt with this baby, so don't be discouraged. Did the hospital give you anything for sore and cracked nipples? I have someone that I put on after every nursing and its okay to have on when the baby nurses too, it soothes the nipples and heals them.
I think you get get some at mothercare, its called Lansinoh.
Once you get the hang of BF, its so convenient, no need to think about washing bottles or sterilizing things, all you need when you go out is YOU.
With Katelyn, I didn't get comfortable with feedings until after the 2nd month. Then things got really easy, feedings weren't as long as before, and they were spread out longer too, so instead of every 2 hrs, they were 3 hrs.
Can't wait to meet Abigail...and all the other babies!
See you all soon!
Take care
