What saved me was 2 things:<br /><br />-My daughter's tongue was clipped at 6wks. She appeared to be slightly tongue-tied but managed to eat at the expense of me. <br /><br />-Dr. Jack Newman's APNO (All Purpose Nipple Ointment) I took the prescription to my doctor and she wrote it up for me. Felt relief from the very first application and was totally healed in a matter of days. Wish more people knew about this stuff!Corinnehttp://www.havebabywilltravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092486775499790996.post-32726047893971626902009-08-12T12:26:32.363-07:002009-08-12T12:26:32.363-07:00Mlle_s - it took me a year to be able to write abo...Mlle_s - it took me a year to be able to write about that time in our lives.

I agree that moms don't tend to share the hard stuff and I wish we could all be as open as you have been. I struggled for months with breastfeeding and honestly felt like the first few months of my son's life were more bad than good. Life is much better now - except for the challenge of finding a good daycare!Mlle_snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092486775499790996.post-77300751738756706112009-08-08T13:36:21.425-07:002009-08-08T13:36:21.425-07:00Capital Mom - I totally agree about baby showers. ...Capital Mom - I totally agree about baby showers. It is the perfect time to let people know it will be harder or at least different than they expect. It isn't like they can change their mind at that point. :)TJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444985322019360482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092486775499790996.post-58208347535380842922009-08-08T11:12:03.930-07:002009-08-08T11:12:03.930-07:00Man, that sounds like a rough year.

I am going to take a look around your blog now and see how your year since then has been.<br />I think what people really need to tell new moms at baby showers is "it's hard. call me".Capital Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811675874649402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092486775499790996.post-60277313790701809852009-08-08T10:44:46.171-07:002009-08-08T10:44:46.171-07:00Thanks for sharing your story Tracey - I'm lov...Thanks for sharing your story Tracey - I'm loving all the different perspectives as I sit on the cusp of my mat leave!The_EmilyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518701459742284875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092486775499790996.post-3083970076876492122009-08-06T16:31:22.768-07:002009-08-06T16:31:22.768-07:00Thanks 'C' aka Amber.

I'm still sideswiped from time to time with the emotions of giving birth prematurely. These things can shape you and scar you in a way few other things can.<br /><br />And I can't believe your husband rebuilt his MG.
