I managed to breast feed dd for 3 months (well it was very definitely mixed feeding towards the end). I was never a 'natural', hated feeding in public, and dd seemed to have an aversion to my right side and could never get comfortably positioned on it.
I'd like to breastfeed ds who is due next month. Are the cracked, sore and bleeding nipples during the first few weeks inevitable even if you are doing it properly - or is it poor positioning?
Is there anything I can do if ds does not like feeding from one particular side like dd didn't?
Thanks
