DD is 4 days old.
She latched really well in the hospital so I was given no advice or assistance with Bf.
Now we're home and I'm finding it really hard. On the right side I find it really uncomfortable, like she sucking too hard it's a tugging pinching feeling. Not relaxing or nice at all. On the left the sucking feels fine and quite relaxing but the boob is hard as sore. I've tried massaging out and expressing but it just goes hard again on the next feed.
I feel like the latch must be wrong but I can't see how. She sucking and pausing, she taking lots in her mouth it all looks fine but it's just not a nice experience for me at all.
At the moment I feel like I can't keep this going much longer. I'm sore and tired and dread feeding her.
Please tell me its normal for it to be difficult at the start and things will get better.
