Zano

Zane's cousin, McClain(3yrs) calls him "Zano". I think it sounds funny, like a magician. "Attenton everyone! The great an mighty Zano, will produce a white rabbit out of this ordinary black hat!" Anyway, little Zane, here has been a trial for his parents. Mostly for his mama who is fanatical about breastfeeding. I do not want to quit no matter what he throws my way! It's been really rough for about 3 weeks now. The first month of his life was so great. He latched on by himself, and he nursed happily. Now, everything is hard and he just screams like I'm torturing him. It's a battle that I'm getting weary of. He's on acid reflux medicine but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. My pediatrician is on vacation, so the nurses couldn't offer up any more suggestions that I hadn't already tried. I'm going to call La Leche today and see if someone there can help me. On a happy note, he is so cute! He's a cuddle-bug, has kept his blue eyes and when he's not crying he's smiling. I love the little guy so much. I just hate that he hurts.

Be patient with me mama.

Aubrey went through a really rough spell where she would scream any time I tried to nurse her. I just kept trying, sometimes I would have to pump and do a bottle, but eventually she gave in and I really haven't had any problems lately. What is it with the second child??? I will be praying for patience and endurance on your part - I know how frustrating it can be.

I just love those big blue eyes! I am sorry to hear that breastfeeding is difficult, I will be praying. I so look forward to seeing you this spring!

Thank you, Zane can use all the prayer his little tummy can get!
