Just that really. DC1 is a couple of days old and we are EBF and dining to stay that way if possible. She's feeding lots - milk hasn't come in yet but I guess is likely to in the next 24-48 hours. At the start of each feed immediately after she matches it is really painful and makes me more than wince but it generally eases up after a minute or two. Is that normal? One side does seem to be a bit worse than the other butidwives say latch looks good and baby looks to have good latch from my totally novice viewpoint.
So it's a very long-winded way of saying: how much discomfort should I expect, what do I put up with and when do I seek help?
Thank you.
