So I'm pretty disappointed because, for the moment, I've had to stop breast feeding Kingston. I feel so sad about it but just can't deal with the pain...with Lowe, I had a little difficulty latching him on and Kingston seemed not to have that problem at all, but than my milk came in and everything changed. I actually have fissures that almost go all the way around the base of both nipples and I am all bruised up so it is excruciatingly painful to put Kingston to breast. I went to a certified lactation consultant and tried her advice but I was stressing out and dreading breast feeding each and every time. So for now, at least until I heal up, I will be pumping and giving Kingston the pumped milk so he is still getting breast milk (It's never been a supply issue...I have plenty...). I hate feeling like I can't provide for my baby the way I wanted to but really hope I heal up fast and can get Kingston to go back to the breast...I was able to breastfeed Lowe up to 6 months and wanted to do the same for Kingston so I'm hoping he'll go back.
