Sucks stinky balls!!!

My left lady feels like its in fire when either baby latches on- I took the Tylenol 3 that they prescribed me for after the birth (that I didn’t need) because it hurts so bad.

I’ve started better quality probiotics for myself and started applying infant probiotics straight on the nip so that Cash and Patience are getting them that way. I also just read up on the Thrush Diet, so it looks like I will be cutting out all sugar starting tomorrow.

ALL SUGAR (and starches?)! That means all the carbs, which is pretty much all I eat. It also means the better tasting veggies.

In other news- tool the babies to Breastfeeding clinic today. Cash gained 5.5 oz and Patience gained 4.5. Still not gaining quite the desired amount but it was really encouraging to know that they both have moved up from just 3oz the week before! Hopefully as they keep getting more efficient at eating the gain will increase.

For as natural and “empowering” as breastfeeding is it sure is a lot of work and full of set backs. Oh well- I am just taking it one day at a time. Thank gawd for premixed formula though, it has saved my life a couple of nights. Sometimes the boobs are just drained. Greedy babies.
