Grrr! Just when I think we're getting the hang of nursing, more blisters!
One was a milk blister. Very painful, but easy enough to fix. A long bath was what this mama needed anyway! So, that's gone now.
On the right again, there is a normal blister starting. It may be a blood blister... right now it's hard to tell and I don't want to let it get big enough so that I can tell! So I'm doing a day of pumping from that side and nursing from the left followed by a bottle of expressed milk from the right.
I think it may be my nursing chair. I primarily nurse in a very comfortable chair in our living room... I'm thinking that it's hard to get a good position in it. It's a lazy boy chair... big and comfy. I'm going to do more nursing in the nursery or on the couch. Hopefully that helps!
I had my 6 week post partum appointment this week. It went pretty well... I had to see the OB GYN, though. Not the midwife who I love... once someone has a C Section in ND, apparently midwives are off limits.
The OB GYN was very rushed. She's nice, but much less warm than my midwife had been. I miss my midwife.
