Hi All, Jay here with a funny I thought you'd all get a nice laugh with. :) OK, we all know that I am a CLE and I councel moms all the time with how to BF their newborns. And we all know how you have been such great mentors for me. Picture this: (I am still laughing....) 45 minutes after Patricks birth, I am sitting on my couch for the first BF. For some reason I am all thumbs, can't hold Patrick in the correct position (first he is lsnted down towards my hip, then when I finally manage to get him nice and straight, his hips keep turning away from my body), can't figure out how to hold the breast right, and I keep pressing the breast away from his nose with my thumb! Here I am with all this knowledge in my head, and I was totally unable to use it! My friend (who is also one of my midwives and an LC) was laughing with me asking me what on earth was I doing??? Well, with her expert help, we finally got Patrick on properly and that feed went well. Next feed: I am still so surprised at my ineptness with the first feed, I decide to "counsel" myself through the feed like I would do with a mom over the phone! Hey, it worked! BF is going very well now. Patrick BF like a champ, and there is plenty of milk here for both boys! (now if I could judt get Ben to keep his tongue over his bottom teeth....) Anyway, I miss all of you, but had to share my funny with you. I figured you, of all folks, would enjoy it most of all! Do you suppose that since I had had no sleep in over 24 hrs that my brain was just dead, or what? Thinking of you all! Love Jay and Patrick
