Baby Related Dream...Breastfeeding

I hadn't had a dream specifically involving the baby in a while. Last night I had an interesting dream involving my new "son." This was another breastfeeding related dream.

I was trying to get my son to latch on when I noticed he had a full mouth of TEETH. Not one poking through, but an entire full mouth of teeth. He kept chomping too, so I was worried he was going to bite my nipple off.

I went to show Sean all the teeth when I noticed the baby had a bunch of teeth that had fallen out, and they were just "hanging out" in his mouth as well. It was almost as if the baby had it's adult teeth and the baby teeth were the ones that had fallen out already. I carefully put my hand in the baby's mouth to fish out all the loose teeth and there must have been at least 10-20. It was very bizarre.

Than, I realized that the baby had a bowl of solid baby food that he was eating himself with a spoon. I was really confused. I kept thinking, "you're a newborn, who gave you food, and why are you eating by yourself?" No wonder the baby wouldn't breastfeed, he wasn't hungry he was eating plenty on his own.

Without the baby I tried to finagle with my breasts to see if I could get milk to come out. Well, almost immediately my breasts deflated like a balloon loosing it's air. I had empty skin hanging from my chest, my boobs were non-existent. It was than that I had the realization that my milk must not have come in yet, and that was why my breasts were just empty skin sacks and also why the baby was easting solid food. The baby was hungry from not getting milk so he took it upon himself to find his own food and eat so he wouldn't be hungry.

Let's hope breastfeeding goes a little smoother for me than the above.
