The Curse of the Big Boobs

I remember very clearly, in the last stages of pgcy, thinking how totally

enraged I was going to be if I had difficulty breastfeeding... I mean, how

many years had I carried these horrid, humongous things around on the off

chance they might get used... thankfully, I had no trouble whatsoever, not

even cracked nipples or plugged ducts or mastitis or anything (PTL!!!) (and

thank God for lanolin -- if you don't have it, GET IT and use it every time

you finish nursing).

You can buy pure lanolin under the brand name Lansinoh, and there is a brand

made by Medela too. With my first baby, I complained of sore nipples in the

hospital, and my nurse brought me some lanolin to use. Insurance paid for

it that way. My second baby was born in a different hospital, and I didn't

want to risk being without lanolin, so I bought a big tube of it from

Walgreens and brought it with me to the hospital. It is pretty expensive

(about $10 a tube I think) but well worth it. I've also seen it at Wal-mart

near the breast pumps and bra pads. Make sure you get the hypoallergenic

purified kind.

Good Luck,

P.S.

If you can't find lanolin locally, you can order it from the LaLeche League

catalog.

http://www.lalecheleague.org/Web_store/web_store.cgi under accessories.

There's also lots of other helpful information about breastfeeding at their

site

I ,too have that curse and had GREAT difficulty nursing and ultimately gave

up. I also had the same problem with my Pre-op pregnancy. These things were

just as huge this pregnancy, however non-pregnant, they look like balloons

that have been blown and had the air let out 1 too many times!!

Lansinoh is the best!! That is the brand name and you don't have to wash it

off to nurse!!

It's definitely not cheap, but you don't have to use much. I never even used

up one whole tube (I bought the Medela brand, I think, but they're all the

same... they're usually somewhere on the baby aisle, near the nursing pads

and stuff like that).
