I'm so sorry, Sam. I know it hurts (literally and figuratively). Even though Lucia is 14 months old now, and my attempts at *** feeding her are a thing of the past, I still have moments where I feel sad/disappointed/guilty about it not working out. For the most part I have made peace with it, but it definitely still weighs on me from time to time. I have a good friend w/ a 10 month old who has been very successful at *** feeding, and so being around her is a little hard for me. When I read anything about breastfeeding in an article or hear something about it in the media, it adds a little salt to my wound.
But! Overall, I have found peace with it, and I hope that you do too. Remember to be kind to yourself and know that you are an awesome mommy :)
SU in one week!

It sure is such an unfair worl we angel and preemie moms live in. Like a constant joke sometimes. With my oldest she spent 6 weeks in NICU and I pupmped until I was raw and got nothing, after Ari passed I leaked for weeks and even started again two months after I stopped. Hope they have good wine at Share U!
Hugs,

Hope you've got some ice packs in rotation in the freezer to help with the pain. I'll have drink(s) in hand for you girl!
