Breastfeeding 4 months Journey

Aaira is an easy baby. She latched well right after she was born. But then, I had engorgement during 1-2 weeks after she was born. It was so bad until one day I cried so hard in the middle of the night. I had fever on and off for five days and nipple crack. Couldn’t imagine the pain was that bad. But never gave up to BF her. I took pain killer prescribed by the doctor (well, it was actually medicine for pain after labor. You know what that means) to reduce the pain so I could have some sleep to keep nursing her.  I know she was so strong and I was fighting to keep out from distress. It was painful and even painful when the milk drop from 10 oz to 2 oz. She cried craving for milk. So my mom said gave her some FM. I still refused until 25th April, the EBM was finished and I couldn’t restock, I gave her FM. My husband needed to go back for work and we had to stay apart again. So, of course I cried each night before felt asleep. Well, that’s how millitary family had to go through...
