Just writing to say how happy I am. After weeks of pain and doubt, I have been exclusively breast feeding my almost 4 month old boy. Now his scrawny legs have filled out, and although not really chubby, his elbows have the cutest dimples! I am so proud. I started working 2 days out of the house and manage to pump 8-10 oz. over the day and all from one breast only! I am seriously lop-sided. But have never taken domperidone or any other medication. I even stopped mother's milk tea weeks ago. My angel boy takes Dr. Browns bottle happily on those 2 days.
When the baby was 3 weeks old, a friend told me that one day the nipple pain would go away and I wouldn't need nipple cream anymore and I looked at her and thought, "Yeah, right.." And now it really is true!
I thank Jesus for blessing me so much. I have a beautiful and easy baby and hope to ebf for 6 months and bf for many more after. I am grateful for these forums because the posts really encouraged me when I needed help and guidance.
