But he has a lot of problems with his mouth and the way he sucks and it was never right. The best thing I ever heard was from the lactation consultant I see here in cincy. All she did was tell me that it's OK to pump! She gave me permission! And I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's what I needed. For someone else in the birth/baby community to say it was ok and I was still a good mom!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468473075580834896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38883909.post-65279208155096470172012-08-02T17:51:16.246-07:002012-08-02T17:51:16.246-07:00Thanks for posting this.
