I live in Albany NY, where it is nearly as cold as Chicago, and mine is growing like hotcakes. Great job with the porch, and with Eleanor! ;) That vine is Creeping Jenny…aka moneywort…and if you plant it in the ground toward the end of the season, it is determined to grow back.

I asked my friend who is a lactation consultant about pain at 6 weeks and she said that if the baby has a high palate, you would still have pain. Most LCs will tell you that the baby needs to "grow into" her palate to solve the problem, but at our local hospital one of the local pediatricians (whose wife is high up in La Leche League) has been cutting the frenulum of these babes--same operation that tongue-tied babies get--and this solves the problem. I may be reporting this a tad inaccurately, not being a medical person myself, but that was my understanding of the issue. Maybe you need to seek out more than a couple of "experts" until you find one who really wants to solve your problem? I have been voting every day--even on vacation and on my daughter's email account--I am so glad that you are about to win! I have to add a nursing comment too.
