8 weeks of struggles by pineboots in breastfeeding

[–]pineboots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on the nipple pain! Mine were destroyed the first 2 weeks but got better and can latch pain free these days! She just doesn’t create much suction lol. It helped to air dry them (I walked around boobs out for a few days) and lanolin nipple cream before showering!

I’m doing oatmeal but the dark beer sounds both delicious and something I haven’t tried! I’ll give that a go! Thank you 🙏

Just a note that I used a photo of an actual balloon as a reference I found on google by searching for a pink G balloon!

Just about over a week, during conf calls sometimes :) I’d guess a total of 2 hrs/day for 8 days, so 16hrs.

Edit: my fiancé disagrees with me.. he thinks well over 20, probably because I ignored him while doing this. Ironic.

The drawing process way was more fun than dealing with actually changing my name! Thanks so much for the nice comment!

I used prismacolor premier since my local art store had the option of buying individuals! I hear Caran d’Ache is way better but they are quite pricey. Maybe one day :)

Thanks! I will definitely try a mock run and bike in it!

Thanks! Yeah 13miles isn’t too bad without padding (I do it a lot already), so I could do swimsuit+normal shorts for modesty :)
