Jellybean: the poem is gorgeous, brought tears to my eyes.
i took Alissa with me to see new moon, i went to the first session of the day so it was pretty quiet. she fed, and slept, or just chilled out snuggling up to me on mine or DHs chest.

So i have some awesome news!!!!!
I can now bf WITHOUT a nipple sheild and it doesnt hurt
I went to see a lactation consultant, she showed me how to attach her properly, and first go, did it like a champ. The lady was surprised Alissa went on first go considering she's been using the nipple sheild for almost 6 weeks, she also couldnt believe how long id been doing it with sore cracked nipples, and pink sore boobies, she told me that ive done really well to go this far, i just wish id gone and done it sooner. but oh well its all done now
it still takes a little bit of fluffing around to get her on properly and most times i have to atttempt it 2 or 3 times but the point is i can get her on without it hurting and my nipples might actually FINALLY heal
it just totally made my day

Anyway off to shower and sleep, have had a couple of rough nights with Alissa, she's not been in a bad mood, she just wakes every 2 hours for a feed then it takes me a good half hour at least for her to get tired and to go to sleep.
