hi
I am breastfeeding my 8 week old son and have had lots of problems mainly caused by poor positioning. I think i've got it sorted now but my left nipple is such a mess i am struggling to feed from that side. most feeds i am having to take him off because it's so painful and this really upsets him it's worse in the evening when my supply is less as he sucks really hard which is agony.
is there anything i can do? i don't want to only feed on the right as this nipple is only just recovering from weeks of abuse! i'm smothering lansinoh on after each feed and expressing once a day but i can't get enough out to do it more than once a day.
Please help me, i'm desperate to carry on bf but i'm at my wits end with all the pain.
thanks,
ziggy xx
ps sorry for the typing, i am doing it one-handed!
