Lord, we lift litle Penelope up to you and ask that you give comfort, peace and wisdom to her family and doctors. Praises to you Lord for the continued improvements in Clara.

It made a 100% difference to me. So far no one has heard this from their lactation specialists, but I am telling you it has helped every mom and baby so far:<br />Mirror Clara's mouth shape by squeezing your areola between your fingers before she tries to latch on. Picture that she is angled and opening her little oval mouth. You squeeze yourself to fit exactly in that hole. The #1 issue for me was I was too full and firm to squeeze like that, so my pediatrician told me to pump a little first. "He can't nurse an orange," he said!<br />If you're already trying that, way to go! If not, give it a try. You may teach them something new today!<br />LelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910497165802997871.post-46676084101835740282011-05-25T07:15:15.273-04:002011-05-25T07:15:15.273-04:00What a good daddy you are, Robert!
