glad to hear things are going well

I had a nap this morning for about an hour, and then a nap this afternoon for almost 4 hours!! I fed DS at about 6pm, and then stayed on the couch when DH took him to change his nappy and pop him down, and I fell asleep (had intended to check emails etc, and then do some housework) and DH woke me at 9.55pm saying DS was awake and hungry ... I feel quite good for the nap, but could easily go back to sleep now, and sleep for another 14 hours I think ...

Nipples completely caning though ... I've just emailed a friend who is an ABA Rep to see if I can get any tips ... I think the problem must be attachment related, but DS just has such a little mouth, there's a limit to how much areola he can get in there! The midwife suggested I try different holds, to see if having him just in a different position helps, but no other holds have felt any different, yet. I'm now getting a small amount of bleeding from my left nipple, which is a bit of a worry ... but I think "resting" that nipple or usng a shield or something are just likely to hurt my supply ...

Midwife comes again tomorrow, so we'll see what they say ...

Otherwise, DS is en route back to me, as he's not liking his cot tonight ... more cuddles it is
