Emotional distress and cavities

This weekend was pretty bad. On Saturday I nursed Cassi and put her down for a nap and she just screamed. For a few days before that I had felt like my milk supply was diminishing, but I was in total denial, well I knew when I heard her screaming that the poor thing was starving. She has always refused a bottle, but when I made one she took it and devoured it. I sobbed. Cassi and I have such a special bond and I was afraid that since I won't be able to nurse her anymore that that would go away and I was not at all prepared or ready to stop nursing her. Needless to say I cried a lot on Saturday and then Sunday was okay, but today I cried all morning to my friend Heidi Riboldi who went through the same thing with her youngest. I am a wreck. This afternoon I went to the dentist and I had two cavities and a chipped tooth. I was there for two and a half hours because the left side of my mouth would not go numb enough and I kept feeling the dentist drill. He had to numb it about six times and even then I could still feel it a little. Now I am in a lot of pain. I am doped up on advil and I still hurt. And to think my little getaway to the dentist only cost $400. This was not a fun weekend and day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, at least it better be.

My mo would eat yeast (the dry kind you make bread with) to increase milk supply. Just an idea...

The nursing thing is so frustrating! Because it is a change that you did not get to choose. Good luck.
