Happy Days are Here Again

I'm a week into my treatment for intraductal yeast and I gave nursing a go for the first time. And guess what?

It wasn't unbearable!

I didn't sweat through the nursing session. I didn't scream at latch-on. I didn't sit have to take Ellis off after 15 minutes. It still isn't quite back to normal but I can tell it is much much better. I think from now on I'll just nurse exclusively.

No more bottles! No more pumping!

Until I go back to work, at least.

I don't know if Ellis has missed nursing (she seems to like the much faster flow of the bottle) but I definitely have so I'm glad to be getting back to it. I was pretty depressed when I thought I might have to give it up for good.

Since we're in this for the long haul now I guess I need to invest in a nursing cover since I haven't quite mastered the blanket over the shoulder routine.

(This concludes what I hope is the very last post about breastfeeding)
