skin still getting (very slowly) better. I still think it’s the L’amarue that’s helping.
For the past week or so, have continued employing the “weird” technique, it has been helping me avoid the final painful bite at the end of nursing. Realized (though it took me months) that when the end is near and he’s almost asleep, I have to be proactive if I want to avoid the bite, instead of just sitting back and letting it happen.
he’s talking so much now, repeating (and coming up with) real sentences of like 3 to 5 words. It’s a wonder and a joy to see what he’ll do, any given second. I always look forward to seeing him now. I actually told him when he woke up, the last time he nursed today, as we both laid on our sides and stared into each other’s faces, that “I’m so glad you can talk now, baby.” I told him that all he used to do during this time was just kick me, and I laughed to myself, remembering.
