Things haven't been fun but I had a friend come by around lunch time, she brought dinner with her and left around 8, Olivers been really sleepy today but she was able to help me attach him to my left side but after discussion we've decided to express off that side for the next few days to help it heal before trying to feed him from it. Will still feed from my right. She's basically said he's ripped the skin off the top of my nipple, left being worse than the right. She's a nurse from the newborn intensive care unit and also a mother of two breastfed children.

I'm just trying to decide on weather to hire an electric pump for the next month or put up with my manual pump.
