today...

he drew blood. and a lot of blood.

today i cried for like an hour and really thought about quitting. Then he started crying...and I immediately picked him up and put him to my breast without thinking about it...and I thought...

I can't give up. i made a promise to him and to myself i wouldn't for at lesat a year.

yea his latch is good it's at his end of the meal...he grabs with his teeth and pulls like a tazmanian devil. before i can get him to unlatch there is blood...it's like fuck. it's like he's using me as a teething ring.

is nathan feeling any better?

carbonish January 5 2006, 05:30:42 UTC

yeah, he's better. i just wish the snot would stop and that he'd stop coughing up all of the milk he drinks.:(

yikes. i don't know what to tell you. nathan used to do that a lot...before he had teeth, though! i would do the "no more boobie for you" thing. he's only bit me a handful of times since his tooth came in.

oh yea def. just venting about the frustration...Love ya to girly.

Ow! I know how that feels all too well. You've got to make sure you keep the sores where he chomped you clean. Last thing you need right now is a nasty infection on your tatas.

I hope it heals up and Trey stops using you for a teething ring:)

Yea I put some antibiotic ointment. Surprsingly it's healing rather fast until he broke skin once more. But, hell I can take it lol I'm a trooper...lmao

love ya girl.
