Just now found this thread...

Been using baby wipes, but I've been using those for about a month now anyway. The itching is starting to get on my nerves a bit, and I can't wait to be healed to dtd. I thought childbirth/bfing killed libido but we're like teenagers who are scared to go all the way.

Let's see.. Leila is a really good baby, strong suck... When I was engorged I had a hard time getting her to latch on properly (and I had little idea what I was doing) so I have two cracked nipples now... They're getting better, only hurts a little when she first starts feeding. She hardly ever cries, just has times when she will NOT be off the breast. Today I think I was feeding for about five hours before she'd go down. I try to be really patient but when she does that at night time I want to just give up... But then she leans back with a gummy milk smile and smells so nice and I don't mind so much.

MIL is here doing things to the house and cleaning and generally helping me build confidence. She'll go home tomorrow, we'll see how that works out. Should be fine, like I said Leila is really good and DH helps out a lot. We're all completely in love with her.

So tell, tell, I'd love to know how y'all are going along with your new babies. Guess I should get a birth story up, but hungry baby calls..
