Nursing Strike – Day 10
Sadly, we have made no progress on the nursing front. I’m not really sure what else to try or when to give up pumping, but I wanted to pop in and at least give an update. Good news is … the chiropractor helped Jemma’s ear infection! We went in on Monday and Wednesday for ear […]
