Author Gwyneth Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 I just happen to have very sensitive nipples , which makes me unusual perhaps LOL. I'm having difficulty sleeping when she is because I fear the worst. My mom is here the majority of the time and I have convinced her to alternate sleeping / napping so that someone is Always awake and watching the baby. She is a week old now -- time is Already flying by. Sometimes I think she is smiling but my mom said she is probably passing gas LMFAO!!! Poor thing. She is a sleeper though--just like her mama
angie2443 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 You're a first time mom so you'll be extra worried about this baby for a while. I was nervous about everything with my first! As far as the smiling, with my first it seemed to take forever, but with my others they seemed to be smiling from birth. I think it just gets easiar to recognize the more times you see it:).

She is a week old now -- time is Already flying by. Sometimes I think she is smiling but my mom said she is probably passing gas LMFAO!!! Poor thing. She is a sleeper though--just like her mama I had sensitive nipples as well, and they were sore for about 7-10 days. Prior to BFing I was able to orgasm from nipple stimulation alone! Remember, though, sore nipples are normal at first. If they continue to be, get a lactation consultant to watch you breastfeed, or seek help from a la leche league leader or an experienced mom who is currently or very recently breastfed. It is NOT normal for BFing to be painful, and BFing is not always intuitive. Since my "MIL" is a midwife, my older sis is a LLL leader of 8 years, they both sat and watched me breastfeed and gave me great pointers. I have a fantastic BFing relationship with my son and I love the closeness, as well as the convenience, of exclusive breastfeeding. He's only had a bottle twice and he's 3 1/2 months old. A good book, if you're interested in, is "The Nursing Mother's Companion"

Like I said--I'm weird It doesn't happen every time (I know some sicko is wacking off to this BF'ing talk ).
