boobs again...

Apologies to my male readers for so many breastfeeding entries -- just be happy I'm talking about my boobs, mmkay? :)

Truthfully, breastfeeding is constantly on my mind, mostly because I'm doing it for more than half my day. I do it when I'm awake, I do it when I'm asleep. I'm all bare boob, all day. Well, not quite. But I very nearly went to the grocery store with my tits hanging out the other day, that's how accustomed I've become to seeing them.

I'm tackling the thrush infection -- which my dear husband has nicknamed "athlete's nipple" since the ointment used to battle the beast is made up of athlete's foot cream, among other things. I actually even had a day of pain-free feedings. I was so excited thinking we'd fixed all the latch/thrush problems. But, no. It turns out that the 24 hours I had to go without breastfeeding (due to Friday's surgery) just let them heal well enough to not hurt. Oh well. Maybe in a few more days.

Ah... time's up... baby wants to eat again. How a propos.
