or supported a partner through the experience, this might sound painfully familiar. Two days into my son’s life, he wouldn’t latch properly.
More than once, my husband rushed out to a 24-hour pharmacy in the middle of the night to find a brand of formula that wouldn’t stretch our son’s little belly with gas. More than once, I didn’t feed him; I just stared at him and cried. Consider some of the details I’ve just told you: Despite the excruciating first few weeks, I was able to consult a midwife and lactation consultant for advice, the latter on home visits not covered by insurance. I was also able to try pumping as a supplemental option with expensive equipment that many employer health plans don’t cover.
