Rub-a-Dub-Dub

Just like her momma, Maddie LOVES the therapeutic powers of warm, rushing water. She is calmed by the sound and comforted by the water's warm embrace. When we really struggled with breastfeeding in the beginning, one of the only positions we found that worked was sitting over the edge of the tub. The roaring water would silence her sobbing and I would let the water collect around my tootsies, giving me a relaxing foot message that would help me de-stress and let my milk down. A good bath is better than Prozac and Loritab combined (not that I have been prescribed or would combine these two in a deadly cocktail--I just mean it's a mood-booster and a pain reliever all in one)!
