If she was hungry she would wake up to eat. asked to nurse again today he had not asked since she was born I said sure and he snuggled up in my lap and latched right on. It was so nice. He loved it and I have been giving him all the milk I have been pumping he is very happy with his mommy's milk. He sure nurses alot different then does I guess cause his mouth is so much bigger easier to get the entire arola in and doesn't hurt as much. ANyway the question should I wash off my nipple after nurses before I latch on? Or would just expressing some milk on the nipple have enough cleaning effect or don't worry about it??
