Great Acts are made up of small deeds

Ali Brown's CD: http://www.alibrown.com/ezinethx.php

"Great acts are made up of small deeds."

— Lao Tzu: was a mystic philosopher of ancient China

I toughened up my nipples before both of my children & will do it again! While breastfeeding, I never had any pain or discomfort,or suffered from cracked nipples or other problems. People will tell you that your body was made to nurse so it won't hurt...Your body was made to have a baby too but I can assure you, you will be sore! About 6 weeks before my children were born I began roughing up my nipples with a washcloth in the shower. I also would pull on them at least 100 times a day, usually while going to the bathroom or right before bed. This will make you sore but it is better to get it over with while you have an option to stop rather than be in agony while you are nursing every couple of hours. Also, when you begin nursing if you ever notice a sore spot in your breast, this could be the onset of a breast infection. I had this with my second child. All I did was massage the tender area while he was nursing to help unclog the duct. It helped & it never got worse!

I use Aquaphor Ointment instead of Lansinoh because I'm allergic to lanolin.(For post of not useful answer)

Nursing is a huge commitment with so many benefits. The first 4 months were a huge struggle with my first: soreness, lots of nipple bleeding, engorgement,.... But after that, it was so wonderful and worth the effort and commitment. He self weened at 10 months. I had and easier time with the second. I still had soreness for the first 2-3 months, but no nipple bleeding since I understood latching from the first child. I had issues with the disposable plastic backed nursing pads. It caused thrush twice and it was so hard to get rid of completely and we were both a little bit sore. I avoided this problem by using the cotton, breathable, washable nursing pads. I weened him straight to a sippy cup at 12 months. (By the way, I continued to work full time) We are expecting our third child and really look forward to nursing again!

Doing what you really Love doing...  Novel...

"What counts in my life..."

Was I well loved, and did I love well?  (death bead question)
(I think I'd ask more "did I count? - Did I matter?" - - in 20 years you'll be more dissappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do.  So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sales, explore, dream and discover."  - Mark Twain 58 minutes
