Thanks so much for all your continued support. I keep wanting to chuck in the towel but you are all keeping me on track.
I have been airing out my Nipples as much as possible the last 24 hours and have noticed a difference (they are still sore but hey look uch less red). I have to carry a cup around with me though as I get let-down at random times and start spraying milk everywhere. I've already collected like 30 mls of let down spray today. They are looking and feeling a little better too though still very red and sore and they definately can't handle towel drying......and hey I had to peel off my breast pads today too! I switched to cotton pads a few days ago as I found they were a lot softer and my nipples were less aggrevated by them. I also rotate wearing the pads and the ventilated sheilds.
I thought my Dr's appt was today but it is actually tomorrow. Cameron's mouth and diaper area both look fine though so not sure if the Dr will think thrush is a possibility. Hopefully if I ask him to check me for it anyways he will. The LC is convinved it's positioning since i am able to have pain-free feeds with her help, but it's worth asking about tomorrow anywyas.
My other issue is his spitting up. He spits up a lot unless I break him off frequently to burp him. When I get a half decent latch with him though I don't want to break him off and have to put him on again so I leave him on.....and then he brings it all up. Arrrgh!
