#1 Congrats on this beautiful baby

#5 my sister-in-law received word from family in Mexico about a kidnapped cousin. Sadly, her elderly uncle could not come up with the amount demanded. A few days later his body was found and now a wife and 3 beautiful children are left w/o a husband/father.

Some areas of Mexico are still peaceful and possibly untouched by the Cartels are the violence. And yes there are areas of Los Angeles I would never was alone but, the violence created by the Cartels and the government is VERY real. Look what happened just outside of Playas, Mexico (beach city outside of Tijuana)? I haven’t seen my mother’s sister in 2 years because of the bandits.

I wouldn’t feel safe visiting family in Mexico and I dare not risk the safety of my kids.

#6 This has been on my mind for a while too.

My thoughts have come from so many directions, and involve so many features. What would God want of us if we are facing a destructive time? Every time I go down that trail of "How can we make ourselves safe" I have a sense that that is not what God is saying to his people. I just don't know...thank you for mentioning this. I think I need to pray about it, and... ? Yes I have been thinking the possibility of cultural/economic collapse a great deal.

Made by medela, and offered through the hospital (consult a lactation person), they provide a barrier for painful nursing. For both my children, it also provided an easier transition from breast to bottle since they become a bit used to the silicone. It's VERY thin and DOES NOT interfer with bonding, in my experience and is super easy to use.<br/><br/>Google it and CONGRATS! A NIPPLE SHIELD!

That can make breastfeeding difficult and the cause can go unnoticed. My understanding is that the frenulum can be clipped by a doctor, and that it's a really simple procedure. I second the La Leche League and Lactation Consultant suggestions!<br/><br/>God bless,<br/>Mrs. B Hi Jen!

I pray that it all goes well! Can't wait to see "Joy."<br/><br/>I'm sorry about the agonizing breastfeeding pain. I had that TERRIBLY for weeks with my first; it's gotten a little better with each one, but the first two weeks are still miserable. There's nothing like wincing at the thought of feeding your newborn! Nipple pain AND afterbirth pains. Anyways, hoping you get to drink up those tumultuous and wonderful first few weeks.

If the pain doesn't go away after trying people's suggested remedies and after asking God if he will take it away, then you might as well figure it is God's will for you to offer it up. Maybe for the baby, maybe for someone else you know who could use some extra prayer?
