hi all just wondering if anyone has any good tips for staying relaxed while bf? my son is a week old and generally feeding like a dream, but i find that i get very tense when trying to latch him on (especially if he's fussing) and then, once he's on, i kind of 'freeze' into position because i don't want to disturb him. it's particularly bad in my right shoulder, which seems to come up by my ear no matter what hold i'm using.
i suppose i'm after some reassurance really. i love feeding DS but it's giving me head and backache! i think my stitches aren't helping either, it's very hard to sit comfortably.
