DD2 is a week old tomorrow and I've been having a lot more trouble getting BF established this time around.
Since my milk has come in I haven't been able to get her attached properly because they are just so full - and that has started a slippery slope to completely destroying my nipples.
Last night I noticed my nipples are now bleeding when she attaches and are just left so raw that I have no idea how to help them recover between feeds - and it hurts so much!!
Anyway - I am hoping that it's still ok to feed her if there is blood involved. I don't want to make her sick or anything - but I'm not sure what other options I have?
I have just spent over an hour reading about attachment and stuff so hopefully I can really work on that for the next few days to get it right again.
