24 hours NIPPLE SHIELD FREE!!!!!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
nak....

i am so proud! I only nursed my first for 3 days then eped for 3 weeks. 2 months now we have been ebfing. i love it! but we have steadily used a shield. Panick would ensue if I could not find it.

Well yesterday my mom took the Abrielle overnight and since I tackled weaning her off the sippy and putting her in her own room and implementing a schedule, I decided why not TRY without the shield! YAY! We nursed through the night and all today without it!

I am so proud of myself, Anna, and my BOOBIES!

Cutest side note:

I woke in the middle of the night to my little one happily suckling my side. She never cried or fidgeted, just sucked on my side for about 5 minutes. i woke up and was cracking up. I just rolled over to her and let her nurse and realized how in love with her I am!

A nice break from the crazy two year old and i am rested, relaxed and totally in love with my kids again. Sometimes you just need to reestablish the baby moon!

Thanks everyone for letting me vent. Sometimes a mama just needs a break!

Congratulations With DD#1 I ended up using a nipple shield for 2 months I hated that thing. It was such a relief to finally be rid of it.

congrats! :

The silliest "nursing" ds has done was when the nurse was checking him in the hospital (he was a day old)... he kept trying to suck on the ear piece of her stethoscope! Silly baby.
