My little one is 16 days old and we haven't got breast feeding established partly due to the pain factor but mostly now due to plain difficulty of getting him attached properly. I am expressing around the clock for feeds in the hope that I can get BF established in the near future. I'm now seeing a couple of different services to get support for BF but I find that I can do it with the LC support but not when I get home. I just can't get the attachment right. The whole thing sees me just end up in tears.

The stress is beginning to affect the bond I have my bub but I'm not ready to give up on BF just yet. I"m not sure how much longer I can go on trying to get the attachment right.

Does anyone have any stories of hope for late establishment of attachment? I'm worried that I will have to make a decision of either remaining an expresser or having to move onto FF.
