Oh MY - same exact hing happened to me!!!!!!!!!!
I am the poster child for mishaps while breasfeeding. All of my children were c-sections, and had all of the awful things (blisters, open sores, mastitis etc) for the first 4 weeks with every one of my babies. By the Grace of God, I breastfeed each one until they were two. I can't even imagine not having nursed my children...it was such an important part of their babyhood and of my early motherhood.
