let's hear it for healthy breasts

It turns out that my right breast feels like it is being shredded when I nurse because it is "yeasty". I went to see a lactation specialist over that and some other issues and I was told that the pain wasn't normal. Hurray! I loved hearing that this pain was treatable--better yet-treatable with natural remedies such as grapefruit seed extract and gentia violet. I currently expect my nipple to come out of looking like it has been mauled because of how it feels but in a couple weeks I hope to be able to nurse young david with ease (with as much ease as expected when you are getting up in the middle of the night). Overall, it was a great appointment and we are looking forward to David getting to new stages of eating and sleeping. With that said, however, I must say that I can see young David growing overnight and I can't help but feel somewhat sad as I lose those little fingers and hands. They are so much bigger than they once were which is good and healthy but I will miss the ultra tinyness. We are on the verge of getting full smiles from him though so we are moving to good things. We'll just try to enjoy each stage as it comes and goes.
