NURSING

The past three weeks have been miserable -- due to thrush (originally) and now reflux. Both Mommy and baby shared their first communicable disease - thrush, a yeast infection. "S" cries and pulls away during nursing. Mommy's nerves and confidence are shaken, especially with a crying and screaming baby (who sounds hungry) at her breast.

Nursing has slowly gotten better. Maybe the reflux medication or sleeping wedge is helping. Who knows? We're not sure if it was reflux or thrush which caused the crying and pulling away while nursing.
