Hi
At day 5, my milk is well and trully coming in, my breasts are massive, painful and hot. I have been doing all the massaging etc so the breast care is under control but the size of them means the nipple area is pretty flat and stretched, I cant form a shape for baby to latch to and its stopping me feeding, resorting to expressing and bottle. The midwife says to massage them and hand express to soften nipple area but does anyone have any clever or top tips as this doesnt seem to work that well so far
