I have finally bit the bullet and learned that when they tell you to buy certain drugs like stool softeners and laxatives that maybe they aren't joking. I won't go into details but the idea of pulling ones stitches on the toilet doesn't seem so far fetched to me. So I went to the store, by myself, for the first 20 minutes of his life voluntarily with out baby. It was strange. Also, after my shower my suture tape fell off, all of it pretty much at once, and I discovered why everything itches like the dickens down there. Everything they shaved pre-op is growing back in around the incision and my skin hates it.
As far as baby goes, after one week of use he is back off of the nipple shield. I no longer have any pain (except that initial bite pain when he first latches) and he has no problem latching right away. Huzzah!
