Thanks for the replies - apart from the feeding issue, everything else is just going well - I just really want to be able to feed my baby!!
I've just tried a football hold instead of cradle hold and it really didn't make much difference - still a lot of pain, mis-shaped nipple at the end and blood in her spit up too.
I'm a bit scared if trying infant led attachment - I feel like it will hurt even more than me putting her on while she is figuring it out. I'm just not sure I can go through it if it hurt anymore than it already does.
I'm going to give ABA a call when she goes down next - I'm pretty determined to tolerate the pain as long as it's safe for her. I know we'll get it right eventually but gosh it hurts at the moment!
