Skye- I have some lansinoh but I don't know if I should use it or not. I keep hearing different things. Some ppl swear by it but then I've been told creams don't do anything and breastmilk is best?? I'm confused.

Janie- Thankyou! I've seen 3 LC's now, lol, I'm certainly taking advantage of them! And they all say attachment is perfect, even when I said it was still hurting!! This is on the left side. So I have no idea. That's the one with the crack so maybe it's just that that's hurting now. But she's not as good at that side and I have to take her off a few times and reattach b/c we don't get it right. And that is not good for the healing!! I wish I could just get it right but it is getting easier at least. I'm doing the football hold on that side every feed now and it doesn't seem to open the crack up as much so maybe it will heal better now. If it's still not looking like it's getting any better I think I'm going to go back to the breastfeeding clinic on Monday.

anna- Thankyou! Your experience gives me hope!! I'm almost 2 weeks down now!! Getting easier by the day! Thanks for those tips, I will try leaning back. Sometimes it does look like she's choking!! And she starts like wimpering when she's on there (which is so sad, but cute, lol).

Ren- Thankyou!! So, it will heal. Is it still healing when you're feeding off it?? Who would have thought something so natural would be so hard!!

Well, yesterday and today have been really good for the right nipple!! It looks normal now and she attaches really good on it! Most of the time she gets it first go!! So I don't stress out when I know the next feed is on that side, it seems to be just the other one that is the problem now! Still pain on the left side, guess it will just take time. I think I'm doing it right.

DH has just gone out to get a hair cut and it's the first time we've been left alone!! omg. So I've got her in the hug-a-bub which I hadn't used yet and looks like she loves it! She's very snug looking in there and sound asleep. Let's hope she stays that way. I don't know what I'll do if she wakes for a feed when he's out!! It's so hard trying to wrangle her by myself, lol. I need DH to hold her hands for me! I will have to wrap her I guess.
