In my quest to learn all I can about breastfeeding before this child arrives (a mere 23 weeks away! I'm not starting to panic too early am I??) I have read a lot about nipple confusion. I was lead to believe this happens when a baby becomes confused between a bottle and a boob and refuses to take one or the other. Turns out I was very wrong. MY NIPPLES ARE CONFUSED. All I wanted to do was watch Pam have her baby on The Office and what do you know, a couple of baby cries later I had a nice wet spot on my shirt. My stupid boobs don't even know that wasn't their baby! Isn't it a little early for this to be happening??
In other news (still baby-related, let's face it I have nothing else going on right now) we will find out what the little critter is on Monday assuming everyone cooperates. I am excited to see the baby! Clint is excited to have a day off of work! The basement is about a week away from finished at this point too so look forward to some pictures someday. Also? Ogden's Carpet made me feel dirty and I am pretty sure they hire only former used-car salesmen. Don't say I didn't warn you!

you are going to be a good nurser I bet! That's good. I can't even wait to find out what you are having. you better freaking text me as soon as you can!
Ya get used to other baby cries... nursing boobs don't care who is crying ( tell the husband he cant cry anymore.....lol) it does stop though once the baby slows down on nursing.
I have nursed all my babies and I never do bottle and when I try to give them a bottle months after they hate it. But I have heard if they get both from the beginning and you never be the one to give bottle. They do better with both. I keep wanting to say him in here, I guess I am feeling your having a boy ;-)?????
Also know it hurts the first couple of weeks but it is so worth it after. But it HURTS!!!! With Londyn I tried these nursing Gels but make sure you get the medicated ones at a lactation shop. I bought 2 sets they were $15 dollars each but they were amazing I healed in 1/2 the time in one week and it did not hurt as bad and my nipples did not crack and bleed then I would keep them in the fridge and switch them out and man AMAZING!!!!!! I highly recommend!!!!!
I am so excited for you!!!!!!
I also demand to be texted at the earliest opportunity. So excited!
Your poor boobs are WAY too early for this nonsense! I bet you will be a rockstar nurser. So, what are you having????? I've checked this thing like 10 times already. I just can't wait!
