    The good thing Mel is that you have a wonderful supply. Sorry, I didn't realise the problems attaching have been since birth.

    Do you think you'd want to try the breast crawl again. I did it after really poor attachment meant I had cracked and bleeding nipples. Turned out DS knew exactly what to do, he just had to do it in his own time.

    I hope the shower and panadol does the trick.

    Spring - I never did a breast crawl with her - I don't know if it would work at the moment - she'd need the strength of 10 men to climb these mountains...lol

    There is a great video of it somewhere on here. It is amazing, I'll see if I can find the link.

    ETA: here is the link. This video is just after birth however I also did it when DS was a few days old to correct the issues we had. My LC actually suggested doing it.

    It's pretty amazing hey? Barely out of the womb and their instincts help them find the way.
