OMG hun .. I had no idea you were struggeling this much. It's hard being a first time mommy and when your precious little cub is crying the whole time, it's even harder. And then your nipples are sore and your tired .. it gets darn near impossible BUT you are doing a good job, babe, a really good job. Hats off to you that you are pushing through and bfing ... it took me 4 days of bloody nipples before I gave up
Has anyone mentioned nipple shields?? I did not read the whole thread. Could help that nipple heal while she still sucks, although, if she is already a "lazy" sucker ... it might not work. They have to work twice as hard to suck off the shield than off the breast.
Goodluck to you and DH ... take one day at a time
