you're a super star!

All the issues sound so familiar. I used to swear blue murder when DD fed from the left. ouch. I always got a lipstick shape on that side and cracks etc. I don't know if I ever 'fixed' the problem, she just got bigger and better and I got used to holding her so it didn't hurt as much, then one day....magic...I could feed without pain. It took about 3-4 weeks though.

Its tricky with the let-down stuff, but all that suck, suck stop. Wait. Suck, suck stop. wait. suck suck swallow, suck, swallow etc, then eventually flutter tongue sounds perfect. Its the song of a breastfed bub!

To get a 5 hour stretch overnight is AMAZING! I still don't get that some nights!

You're doing so well!
