Breastfeeding Woes

Lola loves breast milk but hates actually feeding from the breast, plus we have all kinds of latch issues, so our feedings are a tricky, sweaty dance where each time I fully expect to get rejected and clawed at as she bawls her little heart out, and am almost reverent if she actually does feed.  Because I usually fail in my endeavors, I then have to pump while she finishes her meal by sucking hungrily from a bottle.  By the time the feeding and pumping session has finally come to an end, it is time to wash and sanitize all the parts and begin again.  It has been a test of patience and perseverance.
