There’s a lot of boob talk around the house lately. Therefore, you may find a lot of boob talk in my blog here too. Great for those of you who don’t mind it. Bad for those of you who think it’s inappropriate. But I’m all for telling it like it is. And if you don’t like it, you can find some great blogs that are more suited for you at an Amish site called www.prudeswhokeeptothemselves.com.
I’ve been feeding Max every 2-3 hours for almost 5 weeks now and my nipples have had it. My left one especially. The nipple was so sore that it felt like Max was sucking a needle through the nipple. A NEEDLE. THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS FEEDING ON IT! The pain level was a toe curling, fist clenching, tears running down my face, 12 out of 10. I put in a phone call to the lactation specialist and my Doctor. They said it sounded like a blocked duct. Common, they said. Just keep feeding and working through the pain and it will work itself out, they said. But I don’t think they understood the LEVEL of pain I was talking about.
So, I attended a breastfeeding support group last Thursday. I’ve never been to a “support” group before. Anything with the word “support” in it makes me want to run away. It sounds like a bunch of people hanging out to complain, cry, hold hands, pray and singing songs. But I have to admit it was a good thing I went.
I’m much better now with some much needed information and “support”. Amazing what a little warm water and olive oil can do. And I was advised to give the girls some air time. “Walk around the house topless for 15 minutes after feeding.” No one here is complaining about that piece of advice. Who doesn’t want to wake up to a topless girl flippin’ pancakes on Saturday morning? Now, don’t you wish this blog post had a picture to go with it?
Lucky guy =p
Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already ;) Cheers!
I gave you a link back on one of my pr5 pages, I hope this is ok.
