My week old is having good difficulties opening his mouth wide to get a good latch - but only on the left boob!
Right side still takes a couple of goes but we get there. Left side he just won't do it - it results in longer feeds and he gets very fidgety too - all v painful and the Nipple is killing me!
Any tips?
Found a breastfed feeding group to go to tomorrow but that's about 20 feeds away ha!
I know I could try rugby ball hold which midwifemade look easy with a different
Flipping doll. Not so much with a screaming baby :-/
