I get downstairs to see my three furry friends- I can tell they're a little hurt (or at least confused) that they aren't allowed upstairs. I cried walking down the steps- I'm already feeling mommy guilt, I don't need kitty guilt too. They were lurking by the door so I quickly brushed passed them on a mission to get my pump...and then I came back to the kitchen to was the kit and I saw it: the fresh kill.
Natural instincts are a interesting thing. Natural instincts help my son know when to eat, how to show me he's hungry and how to find and latch onto a breast (even if he tries to eat on TBone.) Natural instincts gave my cats the ability to protect us. And this morning natural instincts provided me with a dose of much needed humor when I saw my three furry boys: a dead mouse in my kitchen.
Friends, all Spring my patience and sense of humor have been put to the test. And this morning I'm reminded that I don't have it that bad (or rather, it could always be worse.) I have my five boys...
...And I'm not a dead mouse.

Dude, I commend you for even doing the natural. Sore nips is the worst thing I've heard in a long time. I would will be formula-ing it up at that point.
and so will the nips. very painful for a few weeks, but after the initial scab / chap it will get better...
i started pumping at 1 week to build supply, didn't give him a bottle until i think 3. but i also think nipple confusion is a myth, so give him the bottle now if you need to.
love that the cats are protecting the home. hang in there - you're doing great momma!
