Determination

This morning I had our appointment with the LC. We talked about my progress so far and got into a chat about our birth stories and how strange labor and delivery is. After a while, I put the SNS on and Finn latched on and nursed like a champ! After seeing how well Finn took my breast, Anne said that she was really optimistic and proud. She told me that there is a very good chance that I will be able to exclusively breastfeed. I feel so encouraged and so happy! During our first appointment she was telling me that there was a very small chance I could ever EBF again and that I would most likely be able to only partially breastfeed him. Her confidence in us makes me feel so much motivation and even more determination.                               

Still a pacifier for now!

                               

    She suggested that I get a hold of my midwife so that I could get a prescription for medication that will help build my supply. I called Kim’s office (midwife) and left a message with the front desk. I am hoping she gets back to me today so that I can start the medication as soon as possible.

    After my initial breastfeeding experience, I could have never imagined I would be so excited to breastfeed again. I am overjoyed and full of anticipation.
