Total Success day!
Charlotte nursed every feeding today. She tried more than she ever has before and actually continuously mouthed and/or nursed! I won’t be BF’ing at her 1am feeding (in 45min) because I am exhausted. But it’s reassuring that she’s at least starting to try. She’s also calming down much faster than she was when I put her to the breast as well as continuing to nurse even when she’s fallen asleep. And i don’t mean just gumming – it’s nursing. And hey, even if this turns out to be nothing more than what we’re doing right now then at least I will rest easy knowing that I did my very best!

Reading your Journey is giving me such hope that I can have my baby at the breast soon! I am currently pumping 10-12 times a day for my little PRS baby. He is 7 weeks old. I have cried reading your post, I know every emotion you have felt.
Can you tell me more about your nursing journey? I would love to hear more about how you did it. I could use some words of wisdom for someone who has done this.
Thank You :0)
