#Breastfeeding update: I wrote this update on July 28th 😬 and my BF story while back and since we have come a long way! My baby boy will be 3mo tomorrow(July 29) We have been thru many struggles and challenges with breastfeeding. I was so upset why me, why this. I wanted to give up so many times as my nipples were sore & hurting for weeks. Yup even tho I was using nipple shield. So speaking of here's the news, as of July 2, we no longer use the nipple shield😩👌🏼yey finally! Of course I knew/hoped that eventually we would get rid of it although as I said before we were prepared to even nurse the entire time up to 24mo with the shield if it was the only way. Unless I have given up all together in the hardest times. But I didn't. I was so determined and I knew that this was the best for my baby and the only way I want to go about it. I have resented my decision and determination many times when I cried while feeding my baby. Yes I am an emotional person about things I am passionate about. And of course BF was the very first thing I had on my parenting list. When I look back now how grateful I am to what we have accomplished and where we at now. I hated breastfeeding, but now I love it. I love it as I knew I would and as I imagined. When I was pregnant each time I dreamt of my baby I was in the dream breastfeeding my baby. Strange but a sweet dream! I knew how precious and important it is for mommy & baby bonding and for comfort and security for baby & most importantly the goodness of its value. So before we fully switched we practiced here and there on good days. When Jacob's gas issue wasn't as bad. Few days we nursed the whole day w/o nipple shield yey. It was some progress you know and gave me more encouragement to stay strong not to give up while we working on aligning everything. But now I know all this. My poor baby had so much gas issue because of nipple shield as he would swallow so much air even though I did burp him after each feeding. And the fussing he used to give me during feeding was cause of the fast flow. Also when we practiced and he wouldn't stay latched the reason was the fast flow & spraying. I had to figure out to hand express a bit to stop spraying and my won would now most of times let me know, most of the times nicely as he comes off the boob without fussing during nursing. My goal was to switch by the time he turns 3mo. And oh hooray we did it right when he turned 2mo, it was as of July 2 to be exact. Not bad considering all the struggles we been thru. I'm really proud of myself cause seriously this was hard and annoying and upsetting, and I am so grateful for my such easy going wonderful baby for being so versatile. Some babies never switch and don't do both well bottle and boob & silicone. I feel amazed of my baby and proud of myself!!
