DD is 4 days old and I'm struggling with BF. She latched on and fed immediately after birth for a long time. She feeds for two hours at a time! She then falls asleep at the breast but if I put her down she wakes up and starts rooting straight away, and screaming if I dont fed her again.
My milk came in on day two and my breasts have been really engorged. They still feel hard and full even after her monster feeds. How do I reduce my supply?
I cant bear the feeling of anything against my skin. I have been covering my nipples in Lansinoh and only have one small crack but I hate the feel of the sticky stuff.
I get toe curling pain when she latches on. Sometimes this caries on throughout the feed but most times it gets better. It hasnt felt completely comfortable yet.
I've had my latch checked and apparently its really good. So why does it hurt?
I'm in tears because I just dont think I can do it another minute .
