I have been ebf since baby was born on Tuesday night. The midwife said he has a beautiful latch and had no worries about his feeding when she sent us home yesterday but he sucks so hard my nipple are really sore with blisters on the end! I had to send DP out to get some formula last sight to feed him from a cup as I couldn't bear anything touching my nipple. Is there any way to avoid this? I have the community midwife coming out today but would really appreciate any hints or tips anyone has to make it bearable to feed. Thanks :)
