Yesterday, I did not have to pump for 11 hours! And I was not in much pain! IT'S WORKING! I cannot wait to give that pump back to its owner!
Mind you, these are other things I am doing that I have read works.
1. Cabbage on the boobies - change them every 1-2 hours.
2. Drinking LOTS of water (as I read that helps dry you up) and LOTS less milk (which I am having a hard time with)
3. Taking ibuprofen to help with the pain
4. Taking one Sudafed a day (Yes, Annyson can still have by breast milk while taking those - I asked! wink)
5. Pumping only when in pain - and for only 4-6 minutes. I have gotten one more clogged milk duct but I worked it out by 2 pumping sessions later.
6. Praying!
And I don't want to jinx it, but guess who slept through the night last night! That's right, Annyson gave me 8 hours of sleep! Let's pray it wasn't a fluke! :) My Baby is Wise!
If she is not swaddled in the "Swaddle Me" blanket - which we love - this is how she sleeps. She loves it!
And she loves nakie time too - which is how she spends most of the day - unless company (other than Grandma) comes over or we go somewhere! Don't judge! Hehe!
LOVE!
