My DD is 9 days old and feeding well and frequently. It is just so painful when she first goes on that I am getting more and more reluctant to do it. - I am even getting weird pains in my elbow and side at the same time which must be psychological - I am sure it was never this bad with DS and I know that it did stop hurting at some point because I fed him for 17 months and I really wouldn't have if it had been like this. Anyway I was looking for some reassurance that this will stop hurting at some point and wondering if any of you remember when the pain went away for you?
Despite being a very keen breast feeder I keep thinking how much easier it would be to reach for the formula. My milk supply doesn't seem to be a good as last time either and DD feeds for really long periods at a time - still lots of yellow poos so there must be enough. Just want to be enjoying BF more but I suppose it is early days
