Thank you for reply...Haha, oh you're so sweet. Thank you for replying to my comment. I hope I didn't sound too forthright, but that really was my sad experience. I really do believe though that my daughter is a one of a kind no drinking girl. She has never found much comfort from drinking. I am sure that my other babies will do better. Unless it was my milk? Ak! What if I have nasty milk and traumatize all of my babies!?My name is Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293908090708250074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642487786834300520.post-5054119319367474772009-10-14T12:11:17.738-07:002009-10-14T12:11:17.738-07:00This is Ann; I am too computer illiterate to know ...This is Ann; I am too computer illiterate to know how else to sign in!....<br /><br />Anyways, you are a hero to me for persevering for so long; OUCH! I had one child who bit a lot and I wound up weaning much sooner than the others. My cycles then returned immediately. I was disappointed but I sure was relieved of all that agony! None of the mommy 'tricks' worked. I wonder if there was a La Leche League Leader or a Lactation consultant there to try to help you? <br /><br /> I would also be upset at someone telling you that you were doing something "wrong". I believe that the intent of these blogs is to inform people about different ways of nursing because nursing is surely a learned behavior. Maybe there will be another time for you to have a smoother breastfeeding experience. In the meantime, let me know what you think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642487786834300520.post-87409072236932298392009-10-10T19:18:09.743-07:002009-10-10T19:18:09.743-07:00I mean no offense in this response, I just wanted ...I mean no offense in this response, I just wanted to state my experience:<br />When nursing my daughter I did not have the opportunity to keep my menstrual cycle at bay. I breast-fed my daughter for 8 months. 8 whole months. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. That girl hated to eat. And breast-feeding hurt. I remember yelling for Rob* in the middle of the night because she had just spit up bloody milk. My bloody milk. I had been so intent on making her eat that nutritious stuff that I was basically forcing her to drink from me even though I was all cracked up and bleeding. And even after I heeled up it was still traumatic. She always hated it and was always fighting it. It hurts sometimes when I hear that if you do it right, if you're good at it, then a natural birth is the right thing, and that breast-feeding will be a special experience, the right experience, and be a natural birth control. Which it was not for me, I got my period very soon after my daughter's birth.<br />I guess I'm just saying, (because I am very pro-breast-feeding and will try to breast-feed all of my children) that I don't like hearing that if you don't do things all naturally and have a home birth and breast-feed (because now I don't, my daughter is on formula), then you are doing something wrong. And I don't like hearing that if you don't go to the hospital to give birth then you are doing something wrong. I think every woman should be given credit for trying to do what she thinks is right and following her intuition.<br /><br />*name has been changedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642487786834300520.post-73726114937111286732009-08-08T11:46:11.525-07:002009-08-08T11:46:11.525-07:00Here's another good book on NFP:
