Forest, as much as I dislike the pump, it also gave me some much needed free time - couldn't you pump a bottle or two and give yourself a full day with no kids? Like leave in the morning, come home for bedtime or whatever? You need a...

poor baby. open skin diaper rash is the worst. Beyond diaper free, I would second the Lanolin. That stuff is actually really amazing. Helped my bloody sore nipples to heal in the beginning and then recently, when shark baby attacked...

Jynx - I'm so sorry. Thinking of you and as all have already said - I will reiterate - please let me/us know if there is any virtual/long distance support you need.
