Shameless brag, yea for my cousin!!  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My little cousin just had her first baby 3 weeks ago. While she was pg I sent her all kinds of helpful bf'ing information, the number for LLL in her area, books, etc. Well right after the baby was born she started having problems with latch and called me in tears because she was having to pump and feed EBM, I told her to call a LC. Well she did and got her latch issues straightened out andnow her dd is EXCLUSIVALY breastfed, straight off the tap! Won't even take a bottle anymore!! YEA!!! It's all good because she's going to be a SAHM. I can't wait till she comes up next month (she lives in Colorado, I'm in Iowa) for the family reunion she's my most crunchy relative. We're kindred spirits her and I. I'm so happy she didn't give up and switch to formula like most people do the second they run into problems. Now if her and I could only wear down our other cousin who is pregnant. When she saw me bf'ing my son she said "OMG, I could never do that! How can you have something dangeling off your tit like that?" : we're working on her though (even though she registered for 36 bottles and nipples and a sterelizer)

Good for her! (and good luck with the other one - sounds like you'll need it )

dangling from the tit? :LOL cute. except in my case, the tit does most of the actual dangling!

My other cousin is hopeless I think. None of my other mommy cousins bf'ed so (nessa) and I are REALLY the odd balls. I'm going to get her one of those lacy Fuzzi Bunz for her DD, I think she's cloth diapering, but probably with prefolds. Every girl deserves a frilly diaper!

It's so great to have a kindred spirit in the family! Yay for her and her baby!
