I am seriously considering FF. I am struggling with BF and feeling pretty down about it.
I find it hard to get DS2(5 days old) to latch on, he just pushes my breast away with his hand. It takes about 10 minutes to get him on. Once he is on he is usually ok but sometimes just falls asleep after a few minutes.
My breasts especially the left one feel very hard, painful and boiling hot. The right one isn't as bad but its still very uncomfortable.
He has been feeding for up to an hour on one breast but today MW said to take him off after a 15-20 minutes and put him on the other side. But whenever I try that he hardly ever latches on again.
I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall and feel terrible.
Thanks for 'listening'.
