I didn't know you had ppd. Better now, or still have moments?
ReplyDeleteTotally better now! It took me a while to admit that is what I was dealing with. Looking back it probably would have been a good idea for me to get some help. I think I cried more than Lucy did those first few months! No fun.
ReplyDeletei had trouble with nursing my first, too. my boobs were so not my friends - i had a low milk supply and sky had some health issues so he wouldn't nurse well...it was so tough and i had no help and i cried ALL the time about it! but with my 2nd, breastfeeding was SO much easier, and he was like a champion nurser! i know it is supposed to be so 'natural', but for me it was definitely more of a learned skill!
