DD2 is 5 weeks old. I am really struggling with bf. Latch is good and I have milk. Too much. Every feed is a screaming match. Following advice from bf counsellors and helplines and LLL meetings, I have ended up with blocked ducts.
Left breast on Friday. I worked all weekend on getting it clear. Right breast today 
I'm just so down about it. How do you marshall your strength to keep going? It's so relentless. Constant feeding.
I feel like I've been 'keeping strong' forever now. I'm running out of reserves. Pg was tough - dreadful MS, bulging lumbar disc, SPD. I need painkillers and support belts and crutches to get out of bed.
Post birth I ended in hospital for 4 days when DD2 was 5 days old with uterine and bladder infections. Low iron levels into the bargain as I had greater than average bleeding due to an unusually large placenta. I'm still surviving on painkillers (dihydrocodeine, diclofenic and paracetamol) to stay mobile for both lingering pain from disc and SPD as well as inflammation from the infections.
I'm just done. Physically, emotionally, done.
Any advice on staying positive?
