All hail the frenulotomy!

Not a tear was shed nor drop of blood lost (by babe or parents) during the quick snip (probably because we reminded him to be grateful it wasn't a circumcision) and, after a solid nap, we came home and did this, our first solid breastfeed in his 8-day life:

There's so much that's good in this photograph, not least that that poor little stuffed Puppy is finally getting a good meal.

Today we've been trying to help Fiona unlearn a couple phrases like, "Your back hurts; I can hug your body" (I would LOVE your hug but NO - it doesn't anymore!!  Mommy can read you stories.) and "Sam's crying because he can't get milk from your boobie." (No - he CAN now!).

So let's lay off the pump and get some more skin time.  Whoopee!!

Thanks, topical anaesthetic and Dr. Jamie!
