Angie, whatever you do don't give up on it for at least a month. Some women aren't breatfeeders. Sometimes its the baby who isn't.

it will get better i swear! ;D yes it hurts now but in a few months you'll feel so much better. now you are exclusivly bf and that will help the process along. but don't feel bad if you cannot do it, sometimes it hurts so much.  |

Hey Angie, you can put your ticker in your siggy and everyone will see it everytime you post!If you have troubles with that let me know. I'll try to talk you through it. I had to show tammy. But once you figure out how you'll never forget!
P.S. On topic.... Do you think I'd be able to breastfeed? I mean I've had other mothers tell me that they could BF everyone of their kids after having their nipples peirced... They make note that it'd have the 'sprinkler' effect... lol!

Yeah Mel I think you should be able to Breastfeed. But if you are really concerned I would ask your doc. But I think you are ok. |

So we have finally made it! It does not hurt now to breastfeed. But now i wonder about producing enough milk. But i read that if I take this herb Fenugreek 3x aday it helps.

is violet producing 4-6 wet diapers during the day? if so then you're producing enough. but trust me they let you know when they are hungry! Paul does all the time.
