No More Judgments

I will shamefully admit, I was one of those people who slightly judged moms who didn't at least try to breastfeed. I never said anything to them, as I felt it wasn't my business. But I still silently judged.
Well those days are over. Breastfeeding is HARD. And I've had it easy compared to a lot of people. LO latches on great and eats like a champ. My biggest problem has been severe nipple tenderness to the point that I have to alternate Advil and Tylenol constantly to be able to tolerate feeds. FFing mommies get no more judgment from me. I am really, truly sorry.

Re: No More Judgments
I used to judge single mothers, seeing that it's half their fault that they got pregnant via one-night-stand or some lousy BF.
Turns out Karma is a B?tch and I learned my lesson as I could not endure pregnancy with FI constantly helping me (bad MS and was too easily dehydrated plus other things). I now secretly admire some single moms for their strength.
Seriously, go get some now! Best.purchase.ever.
Thanks! I'll send DH to the store.
You can also get a prescription for APNO (all purpose nipple ointment) google it!
Um, not all single mothers are because they had a one night stand or lousy BF. that's a really dumb generalization.

Not to mention, lol, that technically you're a single mother too.

OMG Yes! The nurses at our hospital were extremely helpful. All of them would tell me she was latched correctly, and I would be in tears from the pain. The midwife told me I have very sensitive nerve endings.
