It has been a very crazy eventful few months. I have finally gotten the hang of providing for my baby, which also means my boobs now know how to handle all the extra fluids they are now miraculously making. Also my bra has come to terms with my new found voluptuousness.
I will admit that it was not easy for me. My little angel would not latch in the hospital and would have really low blood sugar levels which would in turn result in bottle feeding by the nurses. When I did ask for another bottle of formula.. Merely to provide my baby with food.. They looked at me horrified. ‘we do no encourage bottles here… You are producing milk.. She just has to learn to latch’. The nurse would then proceed feeding my baby from the bottle fix her hiccups… Hypocrite !
The next few weeks were spent on Google.
Why does my daughter nurse for just 2-3 minutes?
Why is she pooping green?
Why does she creak when asleep?
Why is her belly button swollen?
Etc… Etc…
In the end I learnt that no matter what I find online… Every child is different. But I am glad that I have access to all the information out there. It also teaches you that no matter what the problem is… The solution can come from very simple sources.

Even as a nurse, Google was definitely my friend too. Keep up the good work! Check out my post where I discuss my experience, tips, and feeding essentials. Good luck! https://theheavenlyrose.wordpress.com/2015/09/12/my-breastfeeding-experience-breastfeeding-tips-essentials/

Well done on getting the hang of breastfeeding! 🙂 And LOL about having to google everything in those early weeks – I have so been there, done that (with all of my kids!) 😉

Google was, is and will probably always be my favorite friend. I’m taking it one day at a time.. Some days she is a boob monster.. And some day she just wont eat. 🙂
