Great news!!! He has latched on perfectly all night long and this morning, so this means we are making progress! I can't tell you how much better it feels to breastfeed when he's properly latched on. Such a huge difference! So hopefully this means I can work harder at trying to wean him off the shield.

I think he's finally getting the concept that he cannot bite on mommy. Or at least I'm hoping. *keeping fingers crossed*

Now I just gotta wait for the nipples to heal.

I do have the Lanolin but it just doesn't seem to have helped, nor has the breastmilk on the nipple thing. :/ I still do it though, just in case I'm not noticing a difference. I have Soothies which my mom and the lactation consultant got me and they have helped with the nipple pain tremendously! But this morning I had soaked one completely so it looks like I need to go get another pack. It's a bummer too as they are so expensive. Worth it though!
