Cathy, I am SOOOO thrilled for you-- I can't wait to hear the whole scoop on Ana when you get back. Remember the trick of putting a bottle nipple over your own nipple (with the lactaid threaded thru) if your baby won't take the breast at first. That was a really helpful transition step for me in getting my 4 month old Joshua to start nursing. Actually that is exactly what I am doing in my pix to the left of this post. He had been home just one day, was 4-1/2 months old and didn't truly breastfeed for another day or two. But feeding him with his familiar nipple in the nursing position was a great help in getting him to take the breast eventually....
praying for you!
