I must admit, in the very begining of breastfeeding Rella, I did have some real nipple soreness. That problem, however, is now just a memory, as Rella and I have come to a concensus after several "peace talks" about the breastfeeding issue. I told her that I would feed her as long as she ate without sucking hard while pulling back at the same time (she would get a little distracted, and go on and off, seemingly just for fun). We still negotiate, but the fact is that Breastfeeding has gone much more smoothly than I presumed.
In a discussion with some friends, I pointed out "who made the decision to have the child latch on to the most sensitive part of our body? It seems like a little gummy infant can have jaws of death to un-prepared nipples" However, the system works!

Heehee. Breastfeeding does suck. At least, it did for me. I had issues even after the pain went away. To my way of thinking, bottles are a fantastic invention. I'm so glad it's going well for you, though! Hope things are going well for you in general!
