Had a LONG day. About to lay down before Ajani needs to nurse again.

Small FYI--coconut oil has been a godsend for me during this nursing trial period. (I call it trial period because he's only 10 days old, but we will go a year plus.) My nipples are far less sore and the blister I got from the pump has almost totally healed. My first lactation consultant had me using a setting that was too high--I called Friday for her to come and a sub came in her stead. She advised coconut oil and a lower pump setting and of course staying at it. Now I'm MUCH more comfortable and I seem to have gained a supply boost from being more relaxed, because it's no longer uncomfortable to nurse or pump. 😄

@queeneden, thank you!!! It's been a goal since day one. I'm happily ten days in lol 355 or more to go!!! I don't mind allowing hubby to give him a bottle, but we only give breastmilk and that last consultation has made our lives SO much easier. We're going to keep working with our new lactation consultant.
