You would have thought that feeding DD for 18 months and that the pain/latch issues we had at the start would make me a pro but DD2 is less than 48 hours old and I am back in painful old territory. I just cannot get her to latch correctly- she cannot open that little mouth wide enough or when she does she soon pulls away so that too little boob is in her mouth again. She does correctly latch - on outside appearance - part of the time but it only took 24 hours for my nipples to become so pink and sensitive that i cannot tell if it is incorrect latch pain or correct latch but overly sensitive nipples. She wants to feed all the time (obviously just colostrum at this stage- born 6:47 Sat morn) which I know is great but it hurts! and already I feel frustrated. i get a bit of lipstick nipple but a few midwives have said I have long nipples anyway? Or that my fair skin makes nursing hard for some. Or they just say keep reattaching until she is on properly but she gets so frustrated coming off and on (DD2) that she starts screaming and her hands go in her mouth before I can get my nip in. I know how to position her. Will get her checked for tongue tie etc. Just don't know what I am doing wrong... Again! I already have a little ridge of blisters. I had such a great birth experience this time I was praying for a similar BF experience but I feel so dissapointed!
