Help me please ladies I'm at wits end, I'm no expert but I successfully bf ds 1 and ds 2 and yes the first few days were painful until my milk came through and I got attaching on correctly, now with 4 day old ds3 I am really struggling, my nipples are in agony it's like someone is shaving the tips off with a razor blade, they are cracked and there are blood spots on the ends, I'm expressing with an electronic breast pump which right now is as painful as I can't master hand expressing, and tonight I'm having to ditch bf altogether until they heal as I literally cannot stand the pain, much to my ds3 frustration and upset and my tears and feeling of a failure.
I'm applying lansinohl cream regularly, keeping breasts dry and warm and changing nipple pads frequently, tomorrow I will call our NHS breast feeding advisor but if anyone out there can give me advice I will welcome it with wide open arms x
