Newborn breastfeeding

[mustbemad17]

DS is 2 days old so still very new to this. But for the love of mayhem i'm in so much pain 😱 every time he latches on i want to squeal. Have a bf supporter coming tomorrow as he has posterior tongue tie so want to check things are okay, but for now is there anything i can do? He is getting plenty to eat judging by the nappies so just need to push through the pain!

I just don't answer the door 😂 my postie now knows to leave stuff on the doorstep for me haha

Good postie! Alas our door opens right onto the street, so stuff has to come in. Hope today’s been good and you’re doing well.

I'm in a flat so have a bit of security for doorstep post haha. Lifesaver sometimes!

I'm with milk now so very engorged & sore. Little man won't even entertain nipple shields so i'm having to try hand expressing...roll on the snipping of the tongue!

Great that your milk’s in (Although I can imagine it doesn’t feel it this very second!). Warm water always helps if I’m engorged and sore, and I think warmth helps with expressing too. I am sending ‘hurry up’ wishes to the tongue tie referral!
