A wise politician would realize that with this disparity an attitude of I won so I get to do whatever I want isn ' t politically viable in the long term . We don ' t mind the Republicans joining us . They can come for the ride , but they gotta sit in back . Barack Obama <| sep |> Yes , we ' ve been using a shield since the day after I got home from the hospital . Here I was , 3 days PP , carefully waddling through Walmart determined to get a shield because I honestly could not go another day with her chewing on my nipples . I was so relieved when I finally started using it ! My LO has a recessed lower jaw that makes latching pretty impossible at this point the more open her mouth gets the more shallow her latch is . Hopefully she ' ll grow a bit and be able to latch properly so we can ditch the shield but for now it ' s my best friend ! Glad you ' re feeling relief too
