is what I am today! My bumpkin is having a rough day-- she starving but every time she latches, she sucks for 2 minutes and passes out. I unlatch her and she screams. So we try again and she falls asleep... so she's starving and sleep deprived. I've left her on my boob for as long as I can handle but then I get sore and she wakes up. Oh well! I'm enjoying every minute 
On the plus side, BFing is getting easier (still using the shield) but I think we've figured it out for the most part!

go mama go!
I can't believe she's already over a month old!
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware; joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. -Henry Miller

Thanks! its been a struggle but glad its finally working out. It's been an adventure for sure!
I'm still a pacifer but I do nothing to discourage it.
Try rubbing her little feet to keep her awake and nursing.
Hooray for boobies!
The first few weeks we did that along with every other trick in the book-- today she just doesnt know what she wants (boobs or sleep). She hasnt had a full session since first thing this AM-- she's just having a day. MY DH is freaking out that she's starving and wants to give her a bottle but I've put the kaboosh on him so far today.
