hey peeks - drop in centre went well. my latch is perfect apparently, so she thinks I have some sort of infection/inflammation again (staf, thrush etc) bc my nipples are quite pink. so im back on the medicated ointment & and 5 minutes of sunlight per day if I can get it. it was a relief to find a reason for the pain bc I wasn't confident about continuing if it was just part and parcel of breastfeeding. I think the ointment has made a difference already & im not needing to pump/rest each boob. I actually asked in hospital about tongue tie bc I had heard that it causes a painful latch, but he doesn't have it apparently. are your nipples pink at all? is marcalan for sore/cracked nipples, or is it for thrush? our poor boobs... it will get better though... . I bet you are loving having a little girl... I always notice that there are double the amount of cute clothes for girls than boys. maybe I will have a girl next, if I am lucky enough to have another. how is it having 2 boys to care for as well as a baby? I have days where I cant keep my eyes open, I often wonder how I would cope with another child/children?!
