Bibbity Bobbity Boob
I've finally given up. Katie wins again. The left boob has been abandoned.
Katie has been showing her displeasure with Lefty for a long time. She nurses for a couple minutes, then pulls off and stares across the room, no doubt dreaming of the good ol' days with Righty. She might be persuaded to nurse for another minute or so before she repeats the act. If I'm feeling patient, we might try that whole procedure a few more times.
I don't have any problems getting her to eat on the right side. On the rare occasion when a marching band passes through the living room, she might turn her head to look, but for the most part she's camping out there until she falls asleep or I pop her off.
Over the last 8 months, Lefty has gotten less and less action. I stopped worrying about alternating, tried to avoid the awkwardness of nursing her on that side in bed (for some reason, we just can't get comfortable) and didn't even bother when we were out of the house.
Yesterday, I didn't make use of Lefty a single time.
So now, at least one of my boobs can go back to it's normal (after 2 kids) perky self, while the other's weight pulls me in ever tightening right hand circles.
