This is an amazing thing to do for your son. I can't wait to get together with you to talk about it this week!

Just be prepared... breastfeeding is difficult for the first time... if you can stick it out those first six weeks, you will be able to carry on through... but those first six weeks can be painful as you both figure things out... I would recommend taking a nipple guard and some nipple cream just in case you get very sore, which is highly likely!!! But it is so worth it in the end. Don't forget to take bottles and formula as well (in China the orphanages used a very thick formula and so parents had to gradually ween the babies onto Canadian formula) just in case he needs both. My boys were always so hungry, they ate all the time! I had to supplement even though I had a lot of milk.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16297231059269640402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626750314484243494.post-3785056295473714942012-11-24T13:13:03.204-08:002012-11-24T13:13:03.204-08:00Just tears.

I can't wait for the day that you get to hold Isaac close to you while you nurse him, and kiss his little hands as he reaches to your mouth without breaking eye contact. There is nothing like it. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327992154509881514noreply@blogger.com
