Question.....

Bfing my first was painful..... Very painful for the first 2 weeks. Getting used to it, attachment was always good it was just "toughening" up a bit.

Is it the same for subsequent children?

Funny enough after the first bf in hospital I bruised. So I was hand milked till the day I left, I bfed at home and by the time the midwife visited I was blistered and bleeding.

When I went to a day stay they said dd was attaching correctly but suggested a different position which really helped...... Till she started choking on let down!! By then it was smooth sailing so bfing holding dd up was fine.

Anyway can I expect to bruise or be in just as much discomfort the second time around??
