Hey ladies! bear with me as i'm new to all this.
Have been Breastfeeding my little one, milk just came in yesterday properly but one of my nipples is so painful now, in all the books it says its because of poor latching but he latches really well, all the midwives keep telling me hes doing it right and it feels like this.
Does this painful period pass? any tips? (i have the nipple cream and it helps) hes also feeding LOADS through the night and its really draining, when will this stop? or get better? all he wants to do all night is feed but he feeds and settles really well during the day.
Feeling a bit fed up as its so difficult, found day 2 and before the milk came in really stressful.
No given him any top ups or anything as he hardly lost any of his birth weight and midwife says hes doing great.
Thanks ladies!
