Nursing again...

So I started nursing again last night around 7 pm. Things went well, Avery latched on perfectly, it was as if she had never had a bottle! When she was done, she didn't spit up really at all!! I was so relieved, the fears I had were gone! Until her next feeding...

At her next feeding, I was dozing off and on (which is easy to do when you're so tired and relaxed), and didn't realize how long she had been nursing. I guess she over ate, because about 20 minutes or so after she was done, she threw up again. Not much, and not projectile like before. It was more like she got gagged and it came up. I started crying..badly!! How can that be I thought to myself. I haven't touched anything dairy in over 72 hours, why on earth is she still throwing up!!! I was discouraged and ready to throw the towel in!

Then I thought to myself...Christy you never give in that easily...why would you give in on this now? I was determined to try it again...they did warn me in the hospital that she could take a few feedings to readjust her belly to my milk again. But I seemed to forget that when she threw up.

So the next feeding...I was super nervous to try again. I mean it was just 3 hours before when she threw up! So I went ahead and fed her my milk...this time perfection! No spit up, no throw up, and went right to sleep and we were able to get 4 hours of sleep at that point!! 

So far today all is good! Again on spitting up and no throwing up!!

Now, how am I feeling...well I am still super tired. Not getting my sleep I need is playing a toll on my body. Can't tell yet if I have any less inflammation, so I will have to continue to monitor that closely. 

Well, this one is short and to the point, but all is napping and think I need to nap myself. More later...
