and I have scoliosis (sp?), a very tight him and some problems in my mid-upper back area. She said the mid back is my biggest problem if I'm trying to relactate because all the nerves are connected there. Carter has a very stiff muscle in his neck and a problem with one of his neck discs. So, he has to go back once a week for awhile and I have to go 3 times a week for awhile. Hopefully it will help with our bf'ing issues.
On a side note, he has been nursing like a champ. He knows what's coming and gets all excited. If he looses his latch he grabs and gets all freaky until I re-latch him. He has been nursing me dry at each feeding and taking in less formula. I'm so happy about the progress we are making. I must say it was much easier to nurse at the chiro's office. Those benches are great for staddling over you baby. I can't wait until he's nursing in my arms. I am going to make an appointment with a LC for next week, so we can work on his latch and see if maybe that's also contributing to his not wanting to nurse in my arms. I don't think he has a good latch that way and is'nt getting as much as when he's on his back. On his back I can really control his latch and he can get a good mouthful.
I'm really happy about the amount I pumped today. I'm hoping that with the 3 extra pumps I do at night, I might be able to get enough to suppliment with bm soon (or at least one suppliments worth).
I also want to say that my progress is not only due to my persistance, but also due to the tremendous support I am recieving here. It's like I have fans that I don't want to dissapoint, so it keeps me going. Thanks all.
