Ok… there wasn't much happening to my 'breastfeeding' journey for quite a while…
BUT!!! Yes, something happened, for about a week,
I now suspect, it happened at that very moment her first pearl started to sprout…
I really don't know what happened that night, as usual, I fell asleep, besides her, nursing…
The next thing I realized, was after a couple of hours, when I managed to get myself up, and replenished myself with some water…
And gosh!!!!! Uncomfortable there!! There, the usual good 'side', surprisingly, not the problematic side this time…
And gosh!! Block ducts????!!!!! Immediately, cold sweat~~
After checking… I found one big white spot on it~~~ @_@ cry!!!
Milk blister~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even then, cos, the block ducts were building up, I've no choice but to bite my lips tightly and continue nursing her, on this side, especially this side, cos, without her 'taking' it out for me, expressing will not provide the ultimate resolution…
That time, I've not realized that, her first tooth was surfacing…
…….
And I'm not sure why, this time, the milk blister stayed with me for quite a long time…
The worst time was 2 nights ago, basically what I encountered was…
I sleep beside her, side by side…
She has tendency to (I know most mothers probably will shake their heads when they see the way I practise my breastfeed) suckle suckle, satisfied, turned to one side, and falls asleep…
When she next gets up, (don't know when) she'll turn back to me, and start the process again…
So, whenever she turned away, I've peace (cos, no pain) and I fell asleep…
The next time when I'm awake, basically is when she latched herself on, and the pain starts, and I got up…
It's the moment when she latches, PAIN!!!! Then, it's either I start to get used to the feeling (for that session) or her suckling strength subside… the pain seems to lessen… ^_^
Till yesterday, I really have no intention to endure anymore, I tried to 'break' the blister… (well, if it's on your foot, or your ankle, then, probably you'll just poke it and de-water it)
I used a wet cotton ball, while it's still soft, (after a nursing session) I rubbed till its structure is destroyed… then, I saw something fell out... (scary or not?)
For this time around, it seems like the 'damage' is quite severe, and that it's some 'injury', and that it's some hardened surface, just like your wound, when healing, it'll have this crust building up, covering the wound…
And I sort of got rid of that 'crusty' thing…
And today, I saw some 'blood' trail in my innerwear… (want to cry already!! And she hasn't started the 'biting' exercise ok!!!)
But then.. I kept putting on lansinoh…
And I guess, since I got rid of the 'crusty' thing and have destroyed the structure… it actually have healed quite a bit…
As of now… painful, but not that painful…
I hope it'll healed in no time, ie. tomorrow morning?
