Slowly.
I’ve been so worried about putting Nora back to my boobs. The last time she was on my boobs was about three weeks ago. There was a cut and I was just hurting too much that I had to stop.
I kept on expressing though to make sure that at least she still gets some boobies milk and that when the time comes, I will still be producing milk. So like a cow I milked myself several times a day. Even if I only get 30ml, it’s better than nothing.
To feed her, I’ve been using the Tommee Teppee bottles. The teat is shaped and supposed to act like nipples so I was hoping that when I do put her back to my boob, she’ll be able to latch on without any problems.
And there wasn’t any problems. She latched on fine. The only thing is she thinks like the bottle she can move her head anywhere and the bottle will follow. Well, my dear… my nipples are attached to Mama’s body and the cannot move if you want to face away from me.
But it’s all OK. I’m just glad that I now have more options on how to feed her and as Alice and the Health Visitor told me… Happy Mama = Happy Nora = Happy Mama.
Now… all I have to do is find sometime to cook and eat!
Hey… it’s all a learning experience. I’ll get the hang of it… slowly (but surely)
