BF has gone better with ds2 than ds1, but I still feel like I'm struggling.
Ds2 is 5 weeks old, and we've battled through thrush (him and me) with a lovely dose of mastitis thrown in.
My left breast, which is the one I had trouble with ds1, is still painful to feed from. It's fine once he's on, but when latching it's toe curling painful, and when not feeding, it hurts.
Today I had to get dh home from work as I started getting the same symptoms of mastitis, and I was petrified. Feeling better now, but it's constantly on my mind.
Not asking for permission to give up, but wondered if anyone has had similar, and carried on, or if you went to bottles. I'm getting sick of constantly thinking of my boobs, but don't want to regret giving up.
