:-(
Anyway, there were tears and discussions and Chesh took us all out to dinner and I felt better. The reason our breastfeeding has been going haywire is simply stress. And I talked to the lactation consultant, and she said: it's stress. Do what you can to feel better and express five times a day.
I wanted to go for another walk, and I thought maybe I should do a walking meditation, and then it would do many things for me at once. And I thought; stuff that. It's time I wrestled with the dragon. So I got Chesh to drop me off at someone's house, and he and I had a long walk and talk.
I feel so much better. Mum is recovering in leaps and bounds. I have re-asserted my own limits and boundaries onto my friend. And now I am concentrating more fully on feeding.
But man, my breasts hurt! Five times a day on top of feeds! Gosh!
