So we have had problems with dd's latch and sucking right from the beginning. Not to mention her complete refusal to draw the nipple to the back of her pallet, she will only suck on it, on the front of the pallet. Anyway feeding her was definately uncomfortable, felt like a pinch but it wasn't unbearably painful. I don't know if it's because she is getting older and her mouth is getting stronger but it has now moved into the unbearably painful category. She hurts my nipples soooo much. And after a feed they burn for about 10 minutes like they have been rubbed raw. She isn't producing any blisters or cracks so I don't know why it hurts so much but it really does. I have to bite my lip through every feed.

It's almost like she is chomping on those poor nipples, with her weird suck, her whole bottom jaw comes completely away from the breast with every suck. Is there anything I can do to toughen them up. I have been using lanisoh but it makes no difference. I need help because it really really hurts and I am starting to hate feeding her.
