Hi there
DD is 1 week old today and breast feeding has been going really well so far. I am pretty certain the attachment is good but my only problem is when she first goes on, the pain is searing for about the first 5 - 10 seconds (not long I know but long enough!)
After that its ok.
Just wanted to know if this is normal and does it last forever?
Also do nipples 'toughen up'??
Mine are looking a bit cracked but not bleeding or anything else and I am using Lansinoh cream.
I did call one of the helplines today but couldn't get through and I really want to make bf a success!
Thks.
