I went to the doctor this morning, everything is recovering nicely. My chest is in severe pain from engorgement right now…..there is really nothing I can do. It hurts to hold her …and feels like my skin is being severed and ripped off. Also the last few days my knees have been really hurting….getting up[…]
Last night after one of her evening feedings she immediately started crying and writhing in pain. After not sleeping for a couple of days, this made me exceptionally emotional. I started to cry thinking that I am a failure….and that I have caused my baby pain. I have been unable to narrow down the culprits[…]

Wow! Four weeks have blazed by in a blur of sleepless, frantic excitement. Every day its something new. Lately the theme seems to be belly aches. They are keeping poor Arwen up at all hours and I fear she joins us in the ranks of maybe not getting enough sleep. We’ve tried a couple tactics.[…]
So my girl is 3 weeks old….it has been a rough but cherished journey. She is still feeding every 2 hours which has made it very hard on me. I have been very tired. There is a great deal of speculation as to why this is. I have always had an abundant milk supply. […]
