last night, while we were nursing, aubrey bit me for the first time. yowzah! it hurt! my reaction (gasping and immediately removing my breast from the clenches of her mighty baby jaws) shocked aubrey, who immediately burst into tears. and then i felt bad.
but then she did it again. same reaction from mummy, same response from boopers.
after some comforting (involving a trip downstairs to say goodnight to daddy and cabot one more time) we were able to give it another go, and finally we had nursing (and thereafter sleeping) success. but i have to say that i was a bit hesitant to offer her the bitten breast. ouch!
brought the electric pump home yesterday and set the alarm to wake me up at 1:30 am to pump. it sucks (hah! punny!) but i am hellbent and determined NOT to give aubrey formula.
speaking of which, i stopped at one of my local food cooperatives and bought a 13 oz. can of organic formula (juuuuust in case...) for guess how much?! $21.95!!!!! crikeys! i'll get up TWICE in the night if that's what it will take to keep aubrey exclusively breastfed....
