Thank you! We have been doing that, however if you saw her nipples
yesterday you would understand why that is not working well. I am hoping
her swelling has gone down a bit overnight with frequent expression and cold
compresses. I am a big fan of finishing at the breast, especially with a very
hungry and inpatient infant. I have seen on many occasions a mom and baby
who have benefitted from this practice. I'm so happy that others are doing
this as well. However, currently mom and baby are loving using the cup, so I
don't see the difference in the method by administration. It is the idea that
this will "take the edge off" so that she is content to slow suck with mom.
Thanks again!
Laura
