Liam is 3 weeks old tomorrow and still only breast feeding. I am not planning on introducing the bottle for another month, and not planning on introducing the pacifier at all. So, needless to say he is constantly on "boobie." If he is not hungry, he is wanting to use me as comfort during naps. While this is a bit exhausting at times, and a bit hard or impossible to do anything else at times, it is the most amazing time ever. The bonding and comfort that I can provide for him is amazing, and something I unfortunately was not able to do for Jacob.
So while at the dentist Liam was on my chest, under a discreet breast feeding cover, eating and using mommy as a paci the entire time we were there. It was definitely a new experience to be examined by the doctor while doing this.
But it worked. I stressed a lot about it and worried how the staff would handle it, when in the end there was nothing to worry about. Liam did great. I was exhausted from worrying that he may cry or that the Dr. would think I was crazy to want to be seen with a baby on my chest. It really opened my eyes that I need to stop worrying so much about what other people think. The majority of the time all the worrying I do in the end is pointless. Worrying is not going to change the circumstance.I need to stand strong for who I am and what I believe. So I vow to limit my worrying and stand up for me.
As for the actual dentist appointment, I need a filling, but cannot get that until I get my teeth cleaned. So I have at least 2 more dentist visits in the next few weeks. So bring them on and here I come with baby on "boobie"
