Feeding DD3 has been a breeze. Day time feeds are pretty much stopped as she eats well but she feeds prob 4 times evening - morning or if she's ill.

Thing is the little bugger has cut 2 teeth and while she's not biting her latch has gone to pot and as I fall asleep feeding she's managed to really hurt me without me noticing.

I stopped at this stage with DD2 but DD3 won't take a bottle really so not sure what to do Confused

re-teach her to latch - every time DS1 got new teeth, or even sometimes just after time when he (or perhaps both of us) got lazy I'd go back to first principles - making sure he had a good latch before letting him feed, otherwise I got shredded - and I avoided using the most damaged side for falling asleep on to give it a chance to heal.

He got the knack again within a couple of feeds each time
