My lo is only 4days old, established feeding well in hospital but my milk has arrived with a vengeance and he has been struggling to latch in the last 24hrs.
The last feed I gave up trying to latch as my boobs are so sore and gave expressed milk, prior to this I've been hand expressing to relieve pressure and undressing him to get him to latch, when that failed I tried pumling then latching on, which worked eventually, when this didn't work at the next feed i ended up in the shower.
Mum at the end of my tether already! I feel like I'm trying everything and now terrified of each coming feed.
Any advice greatly received
