Breastfeeding

I think we’re still dealing with thrush in my nipples.  The baby doesn’t have any white patches, but I definitely still have the shooting, burning pain, especially on the left side.  This is so discouraging that I have to grimace and pinch myself as my baby nurses.  I think blissfully of those few weeks where breastfeeding was totally pain free for us.

Even though it’s painful, I look down at his little face and I know he’s enjoying it so much and getting the nutrition he needs.  It’s completely worth it.  Even so, I wish that breastfeeding could be easier.  Why aren’t mommies who choose this path rewarded

I suppose we are rewarded in so many ways, and I’ll look back on these days and forget the pain and just remember the wonderful bonding experience.  At least-I hope so…
