Redeeming Breastfeeding, Day 1

Good news: Norah is showing interest in nursing. When I physically flange her lips out, they stay there for a few sucks. Today is Day 1 of World Breastfeeding Week.

Bad news: Her suck is really weak. She only will nurse when we lay down... Which means I have not been out of our bedroom all day (besides for ME to eat). She still gets frustrated and complains when nursing. Her tongue still isn't coming forward enough over her gum line. The click still happens. It is still very painful. My nipples are not happy. She obviously still has muscle memory from how things were.

I have banned all artificial nipples, so we are attacking this thing. No more bottles or paci's. No more messing around. We have got to figure this thing out.
