[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 561819, member: 3907"] Step, Meggie is just precious. Utterly snuggle-worthy. I'm so glad that she is bringing you peace and happiness, even through the depression. Sleep deprivation, the hormonal shifts, inefficient nursing, other children...it can all take a huge toll on you. Don't underestimate how much of a toll. Go easy on yourself. As for the feedings, take it day by day and do what works best for you. easy child was The Hungriest Baby Ever and also really bad at nursing. Between the two of us, we were a hopelessly uncoordinated mess. He was too hungry to wait for my milk to come in or let down, and I lost the pregnancy weight so quickly that my supply never really did get established properly. Add to it lactose-intolerance and other allergies, and it was just a mess. At 6 weeks, I switched to formula exclusively and we were both much happier from that point on. Go with your instinct -- if it's working for you or you want to keep trying, then keep at it. But if it feels like a burden, then it's not quality time for you and Meggie. The pain in the lower abdomen may be your uterus shrinking back to normal size. Although the hosptal tells you to expect "mild cramping", to me it felt more like a sharp tearing sensation combined with being punched hard. Hurt like H-E-double-hockey-sticks. Sending many hugs, Trinity [/QUOTE]
