Mostly at least once an hour. I had vasospasms in one nipple until about 6 weeks, it's a reaction to damage usually but cleared up on its own in the end, so glad!LittleWandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101034304837448582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-27986587366625614782011-04-25T02:32:46.956-04:002011-04-25T02:32:46.956-04:00Hi!

I have stopped tracking, but I know that if I wasn't having to supplement with formula it would easily be that often. Pump? Ha!

Didn't try it last time because nobody could figure it out what it was until I saw Family Doc long after I stopped nursing. I still have vasospasms, but heat relieves them.

It wears off eventually, which is very little consolation right now, I know. Same with the sleeping: ON HUMANS ONLY. Thanks, kid.<br /><br />Read a Jenny F.

Quic...AUGH. F'in' Blogger ate my comment!<br /><br />Quickly: I had THE OPPOSITE experience of Hannah: a quick check-in in the hospital to admnish me to SLEEP WHEN THE BABY SLEEPS (not kidding.) and a follow-up at six weeks to admonish me to do my kegels (I did, kind of. I have not peed my pants for two months & counting...)<br /><br />And 13 times-- I totally believe.

Follow up home visit to test my iron. 6 week post-partum home visit. Clearly a hospital-based OB or midwife is not going to do all of this, of course. But they should do more than, um, nothing.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720925827638712101noreply@blogger.com
