DS is 4 days old and despite initial latch problems which caused very sore nipples we were doing ok.
Now it seems he has colic and has been so distressed that I can't get him to latch properly and my nipples are in tatters. Feeding seems to be the only thing that settles him but I cant face the pain
We've had to give in and give him formula top up tonight but expressing in hope of using EBM to give my nipples a break.
DS will not settle at all and DP and I are having to do hourly shifts of holding him and sleeping.
Any advice? Breastfeeding support worker and midwife coming tomorrow but somehow need to get through the night.
