Hi I'm currently bfing my 3day old 2nd DS, my first one i managed 6 weeks he had a tongue tie. The latching on is doing great this time round but the milk's come in today and my breasts feel like 2 burning hot masses on my chest, and when he latches on i have a few seconds of awful pain which subsudes during feeding.. any suggestions what i could do to help/what it could be?
I'm applying lanolin a lot and have seen the hv/midwife the last couple of days who have helped but sometimes i wish they'd just come out and admit yes it's hard and yes it's unpleasant rather than all i hear again atm which is either mums who say it's very easy/should never hurt which makes me feel crap or mums who say just give a bottle/what's the point which equally makes me feel crap! i'm expecting it to be hard again but with everything else ongoing pain or some sort of infection will just push me over the edge to going to formula
