Super Mom. Super Challenges.


When Adam was first born he wasn't pooping enough, we went to see a Lactation Consultant and she helped us with our positioning.

Now, at 5 weeks, almost 6 weeks, we're having trouble with overactive letdown, milk coming out too fast, which makes Adam mad when he's trying to nurse. We're having some fore milk and hind milk imbalances, which lead to burping and gas for Adam. But, we're working on it, trying different positioning and different nursing patterns, and lots of patience and persistence.

Nursing has it's ups and sometimes it's downs, but it's worth it and I feel super for powering through the harder times.
