Hi Pam Do you remember us? It is still very hard to breastfeed, but I am still trying. We tried to talk to Robyn, we wrote her an e-mail, but she never answered. We sought for an acupuncturist but we couldn't find any who treats problems like sore nipples. As the pain was very hard to cope with, we started with formula and I started to pump just when my breasts were very, very sore. Even the pump was hurting me. And little by little my breasts got a bit better I stardt to breastfeed again. Today I can breastfeed during the day and at night I give Pedro 2 formulas. Sometimes I feel like crying, my nipples are still cracked and sore. My midwife wants me to take birth-control pill because I am not healing from the stiches yet, She said I have hard spots inside my vagina and I need to take an hormone that is found in contraceptive pills. The name of the pill is Loestrin Fe. I am very comfused about that. She also said the my milk is going to dry up, but I need this kind of medicine. I don't know what to do. Do you have a piece of advice to give me? I would be glad to hear something from you. Thanks for being so nice to us.
