good evening folks...
after 5 weeks of up and downs with breastfeeding - we have a new twist to teh game. in my left boob - i get a strange sensation / pain after i feed. it almost feels like hot stingy pins and needles or heartburn in the tissues. it lasts for about 20minutes. is this just the milk coming back in? this is also the breast that we have the most trouble with latching on - coudl that be something to do with it??
also - we have had real diffs with feeding. she still has trouble latchin on and staying on. isnt that keen on opening her mouth and comes / on off about 10 times in a 20min feed. does that sound usual / unusual? she usually only feeds for about 15 - 20minutes. my boobs do feel soft after she is finished and she is gaining weight with wet nappies so i am hoping she is doing ok?
