Thanks everyone. I did try some baby led attachment today, felt heaps better but still dull pain. Maybe a 2-2.5 using your scale MadB. The hardest part of BLA for me is popping her on and supporting her neck etc without rigidly guiding her. Should I pop her roughly below the nipple I want her on so she can tilt her chin up and take it in/scramble up? Or put her nearer the middle of my chest and let her smooch across?

MadB also I know you are in WA - can you recommend a Perth LC that would do a home visit? I know the hospital (SJOG Subiaco) have their own contractors but interested in someone independent too.

I can't wait to go home! I hate being away from hubby and DD1 at night, it is so clinical and isolating/ed here.
