A...I have heard it is different every time around. And I'm sure I'll be preparing for the worst when we have baby #2. Aelah eats super quickly too. I worry every once in awhile but she is gaining weight and not miserable. So I know we're okay. But she doesn't often eat from both sides in one feeding. And to go over 10 minutes during the day is odd.<br /><br />I'll be praying that they figure out the issue with A. I was prepared for a tongue tie because I have a pretty bad one. But she doesn't at all. She has a bit of a lip tie which caused some latch issues early on. But now I know what to watch for and can correct the problem very easily. You will have to let me know what you find out! Hoping it continually gets better for the two of you!Bri Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357624336110479386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713685075530911661.post-65703625409798337162014-12-10T14:39:49.846-05:002014-12-10T14:39:49.846-05:00This is going to sound crazy.... but I didn't ...This is going to sound crazy.... but I didn't expect using a towel after showering to hurt so bad the first month or so while things are regulating and "toughening up". Man, getting out of the shower and drying off was a delicate matter for several weeks! haha! Maybe that's just me though!! <br /><br />It's amazing how different each nursing experience is with each child as well. El was a nightmare the first few months. We had so many probs - I am so thankful for a great lac consultant who encouraged me to stick with it!. D was pretty good with latch, etc from the get-go (which was a relief after my 1st experience)... but she was such an efficient eater - literally she'd eat on ONE side for 5-10 mins (if that) every few hours or so.... we stressed ourselves out that she wasn't getting enough. We were silly for worrying, but can't blame us! And for A... we are having some issues - perhaps due to tongue tie. We have an appt on Friday for an evaluation. I have tried everything to get that girl to latch right and she just doesn't keep the suction. It's very painful! The ped at the hospital said she had a slight tongue tie... but our regular ped didn't really give her opinion and referred us to another doctor/dentist. *sigh* Hoping this will solve the problem! <br /><br />I am glad things are going so well for you and Aelah! That's definitely a blessing!Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284466678871353733noreply@blogger.com
