I cry all the time when I think about Quinn growing up - he is over 3 weeks old and I don't like it one little bit - he is growing out of his clothes! I also carry around a face washer to wipe up the leaks - or just rub the milk into my nipples!

I'm getting better at breastfeeding - have been doing it all night and all day today...I have a blood blister on one nipple and that is getting better now - it doesn't hurt so much when he is feeding but more so afterwards and I'm walking around with hurty nipples!

Lisa: That is awful about your mum!!!! How scary for her! Glad to hear she is recovering though.

Lil: The ABA suggested I rub breastmilk into the nipples a lot and also to get everything lined up properly before they latch on - like Michelle said have their nose level with your nipple so they look like they are too far over, they need to have their head tilted back a little bit like they are skulling a drink. Hope these descriptions make some sense.... And I hope your "leaks" heal quickly for you!

Quinn slept for 7 1/2 hours last night!!!! I was very happy with that - that's the longest stretch of sleep I've had in I don't even know how long!!!!!! Maybe months!

Anyway time to have a shower - Quinn is having his first trip to the races today! He had his first restaurant adventure last night and slept the whole time (It was DP's birthday).

Hope all is good with you all and all nipple issues vanish!
