Ya I made sure to ask for lots of lanolin when I was at the hospital lol, as I knew I would need it. I got the nipple shield for free, thank goodness. I have heard about the shells. My actual nipples are healing, but around the nipple at the base is where it is sore from him biting. I will definitely try the shells. Were you easily able to wean her onto your regular breast? That is my main goal. I want to get to a point where I don't have to use any of those gadgets. Thankfully I'm not engorged. If I get a little full I just pump and stick it in the fridge. He does a pretty good job at sucking me dry though. He's a non stop feeding machine.

I just feel bad. I wish I could just feed him reguarly. *sigh*
