Breastfeeding

So it's her fourth day with us.. and I'm extremely tired...
Today is Valentine's day and I have baby blues...
I saw Jovan leaving this morning and I had to bite my lip to stop my tears from coming out...
I was depressed...and tired
I had been up all night trying to feed her and she would just cry if she was away from my boob! As I'm trying to feed she just starts crying and then I start crying with her.. telling her... "we don't know how to do this.. and we are both learning HELP ME OUT!"
Was she not getting her food? what was going on...
I had her first appointment this day and her jaundice level was still high.. she had to get another sample of blood drawn out the following day, but her weight was good... Yay!
I guess for me breastfeeding her was, and still is really important...
First because i would show people that it's hard but it can be achieved... I've read that everybody is capable of doing it, and only 1 to 5 percent of women do not produce enough milk for their babies, That's nothing! and that is very rare of a baby not knowing how to latch on.. it's the mom's fault... and it's often because they don't know how to do it properly or they just don't want to...
Second because God created a woman's body capable of producing and providing food from our own bodies.. how beautiful is that! it just can't get better than that...
Plus the connection you get with your newborn is just out of this world.. I can't even explain it..
If you need help with breastfeeding, contact a lactation consultant! or go to
www.lalecheleague.com you'll find lots of tips on how to breast feed properly, I highly recomend it!
Enough of that.. still sad.. I can't celebrate Valentines day with my love.. i guess we will get the chance in the years to come.
