Not going in to the really bad news, but the slightly bad news is that the boy seems to have regressed to feeding every 3 hours (after being on 4 hour feeds since hospital).
The GREAT news is that for the past two days Inigo has had every feed from the breast (except the morning one that Mark does), AND IT DOESN”T HURT!
Of course, it could all turn to shit tomorrow, and he’s still really unsettled and looks like he’s in pain after every feed etc., etc., but I FINALLY feel like we’re getting some progress with breastfeeding.
I know it’s bad manners, but I feel like the SHOUTING is justified!
PS. I stayed in today (after an intense week of going out every day last week), and instead of going stir crazy, I did laundry, tidied up in the boys room, and made French Onion Soup from scratch. Only impressive because all we had in the house was a bag of mouldy onions and a glass of wine left in a bottle from three months ago. I am legend.
Of course, I didn’t finish the sock, and I nearly burned down the house making croutons for the soup, but hey…

So what I read is that Inigo has recovered from his initial illness and birth trauma and is going through his six-week growth spurt (a little late), and you have recovered from your surgery, birth trauma and the nipples are healed. Sounds like you might be over this hump.

Ahah – M-H AND Jussi beat me to it. Growth spurt. And toughened nipples. A fortunate combination for you.
