After nearly 6 weeks breast feeding my son I am now experiencing sore nipples & uncomfy boobs !
They're aren't cracked or anything, feel more bruised i suppose, is this just unavoidable because he has a suck that i could rent out to dynorod?!
Also, when he feeds i think it's the letdown that is quite painful? It also hurts in the other one briefly, this also is quite new.
I end up holding the boob he's feeding from while he feeds as it feels less uncomfortable but would like a better solution if there is one?
He does sometimes get lazy & try to just suck nipple but when this happens i take him off then he generally gets the message and goes on again well so i don't think it's the latch, tho obviously i am no expert.
He's a big boy (over 11lbs) and HV said he should be going quite a while between feeds but if he is awake he just about goes 2 hours, am i feeding him too often?
Sorry, didn't plan on this being an essay!!
