And she is making me soooooo sore! She won't take a proper mouthful of breast no matter how much I make her take to begin with, she just lets it slip and will only hold on to a little so it doesn't hurt her gums. It means that my letdown is taking longer because she's not triggering it properly with a big mouth of breast, which means she's sucking/pulling on my nipple for even longer to get a feed, which is making it worse arghhh
Aside from Lansinoh, which helped in the early days when I was getting sore and a little chaffed just starting BF and getting attachment right, has anyone got any other suggestions of what can help my sore boobs, or anything else I can do to help DD take a better mouthful? I'm doing everything I can with her attachment, so it might be a matter of just riding it out in the meantime, right...?
