My 8 week old(10 week prem) has finally started to get the hang if breadtfeeding! My hard work and sheer dedication has finally paid off, even after a 2 week hospital stay with severe bronchiolitis!
Aaanyway, he latches on most if the time, but jeeeez it hurts! Feels like needles being pushed into my nipple with every suck! Basically, I think he hadn't got enough boob in his mouth. Which makes sense as he's so tiny and there's quite a lot of boob!
How do I get him to open his mouth wider??
Also, at some feeds, hi just rubs his mouth side side to side over my nipple in a rooting frenzy, but can't seem to latch on.
Frustrated!
