Dec
I think the feeding frenzy is slowing. Finally. Mary James actually went a whole four hours today without eating. This is the longest stretch of no breastfeeding for three days. Stupid me didn’t catch a nap during this period. Oh right, I was meeting a friend’s new girlfriend. I guess it would have been rude to sleep through dinner. Man I’m so glad I don’t have to date.
I really thought I would be a D cup by the time she finished increasing my milk supply (I’m originally an A). I guess it doesn’t work that way though. Oh, well. Not like they’re going to stay around anyway.
I can’t wait to see how much she weighs at her 4 month pediatrician visit. She’s around 12 pounds right now. I swear she should have a gained a pound this week. She even started “wapping” (pounding my breast) while she ate, almost like a calf.
Man have you ever seen a calf eat? They slam their hard, little heads repeatedly into their momma’s udder to encourage milk let down. BAM! BAM! BAM! And the cow just stands there, munching away like nothing is happening. Again I’m glad I’m not a cow.
I wonder if Mary James’ hand pounding works the same way?
