A Little Friendly Payback

Now before we launch into this, I did not do this on purpose. This is another one of those things that no one tells you about.

Nyla was hungry (who's surprised?) so I put her on the boob for some food. Lately I've been feeling pretty good because the breastfeeding isn't as painful as it used to be. Yes, she's eating constantly, but I think I'm getting used to it.

So Nyla is eating away and I'm watching America's Next Top Model. I looked down at her to just make sure she was doing okay. At this moment, she pulled her mouth away to take a snack break. Apparently, though, my milk was not ready to be done. I literally showered my daughter with breastmilk. Showered her. It was all over her face and neck. Think of how a human looks when you spray them with a hose in the face; now take that reaction and put it on a baby. Hilarious! She flailed her arms around and everything. I didn't know what to do! The milk wouldn't stop!

Between her squirming and my laughing, it was really difficult to get this situation under control. Finally I just had to grab one of her blankets to make it stop.

Hello, experienced mothers. How about a heads up about this stream of breastmilk? I don't know why I thought that the milk would only come out when Nyla is eating. Now I know...I must keep those nursing pads handy at all times.

Yeah, I felt bad...but then I thought that's for taking poops on your father and me! :)

But not to worry, I cleaned her up with some baby wipes and a bath is in order for tonight. Don't want our baby smelling like dried breastmilk. Gross.
