I tried to breast feed lo for 2 months and it was hell. Everytime the boob went near her she screamed like I was murdering her and it used to take me ages every time to get the feeling that she was latched on.
Everyone and their dog came and poked and ajusted my boobs-offering help/tips etc. I followed all the advice-tried every bf position known to man but it still was a massive struggle. I know that I was producing enough milk as I did a milk yeild but something was wrong.
Now I have 38f boobs with not particularly sticky-out nipples. They are not inverted or anything -they are just unresponsive and small.
When I was feeding her I had to sort of press some of the boob away from her nose otherwise she would have suffocated.
Is it possible there was a problem with the shape of my boobs/nipples?
