It was going reasonably well. Nipples cracked sore and bleeding. Got nipple shields and worked on latching better. She fed until satisfied and I expressed a couple times a day to help with the evening cluster feeds and boost supply.
Last night was hell, she fed on and off for long periods of time. Nipples are in agony despite the shields and still seem to be bleeding.
Cup feedind is a nightmare, she spits out so much and takes an ounce over 40 minutes. Most of it is soaked into a cloth or down her baby grow.
She's only a week old, If i saw a BF councilor, I'm sure she's latch perfectly when observed.
Feel like shit and can't see a way forward. I have a three year old to think about too.
