I BF DS1 for 7 weeks - he was 10lb at birth and i thought that accounted for my absolutely huge, uncomfortable, engorged breasts. I ended up with mastitis twice and eventually gave up (with much guilt etc)
I wanted it to be so different this time. DD is much, much smaller and is 6 days old. Weight gain good, plenty of wet and dirty nappies, changed stools etc. My nipples are a bit sore but I'm a MW and confident in my latch - the main issue for me is the engorgement. Just so uncomfortable even to move. I don't want to express as I did that before with DS and my supply went even more berserk.
DD will feed well but I never feel like my breasts are anywhere near empty. I offer both at each feed.
I don't want to give up but I'm losing faith and I hate my massive, painful breasts.
