Breastfeeding Class -- Part Two

Here are some highlights (or lowlights) from tonight's breastfeeding class

• While practicing the four breastfeeding positions, we had to watch the dude across from us try them out. Really, do you really need to practice that?
• Buzz was very upset to learn from the dietitian that lunch meat needs to be eaten within 4 days of opening the package. For some reason he thought you had until the expiration date. I don't know how he missed that life lesson.
• Your breasts will wake you up. If you are lucky enough to have your baby sleep a bit past feeding time, don't fret cuz your breasts will wake you up! Awesome.
• As the teacher explained that us women will need plenty of rest, Buzz rolled his eyes. When she said that we need to be stress free, he said, "I guess I won't talk for 6 months."
• We all got to practice manual expression (or as Buzz called it, expressive discharge) with a fake boob. The teacher came around to make sure we were doing it right.
• The teacher mentioned a friend of hers who would squirt milk from her breast directly into her baby's little cereal bowl. That's a skill I'm hoping to master.
• I swear that while we were sitting there for two hours, Ella kicked me in the pelvis a few times. It's probably not even possible but it sure felt that way...
