I Give Up.

I Give Up.

June 16, 2011

This is a really, really hard post for me to write. Part of me doesn’t want to write it, but instead keep it secret and act like everything is okay. I can’t keep on like this. I took Ruby across the country to a specialist, advanced in his field to remedy a problem. He fixed her mouth, but he did… Read More

Maxillary Labial Frenum and Tongue Tie

June 3, 2011

When I think of a ‘whirlwind vacation’, I imagine jetting off to Paris for a romantic weekend. Jetting off ANYWHERE is not relaxing or romantic at all. I flew with Ruby to Albany, New York yesterday… and here’s why: Ruby and I have had nursing troubles for ages, and there didn’t seem to be any real solution beyond just muscling… Read More

Breastfeeding Frustration.

Breastfeeding Frustration.

April 21, 2011

I keep messaging, texting, tweeting and talking on the phone about this with people. I can never remember whom I’ve told what, and how much they know, so I really want to get it all in one place. From the start, Ruby has been unusual. At birth, she latched right away, and nursed like a pro. But it became evident… Read More
