quick side note...

I was on the Mothering site tonight...If you don't know what that is, check it out. It's a wealth of information for parents. The whole, "waiting 24 hours to breastfeed" was not settling right with me. I posted my situation and question and received all sorts of information. I followed up on the links and a medical lactation website as well. Turns out dentist often tell mothers to stop nursing for 24 hours, when actually the medicines used for sedation are metabolized quickly and it is safe to breastfeed. I wish I would have done my research before today. Not being able to nurse my little one has been the hardest part about all of this.
