So far I think we are doing fine. Attachment is getting easier, not as painful as it was at the start. Still slightly sore nipples, but I can actually feed her without noticing pain now. Touch wood!

However, just wondering if I need to offer both sides at a feed? She is feeding every 3-4 hrs and each time I do try to offer both. Sometimes she will take both, other times she will have a huge long feed on one and be too full for the other. Sometimes she will have a huge feed on one, I figure ok she is absolutely full and done, and then half an hr later she wakes wanting more - which is no fun at those 3am feeds when I just want to get back into bed!

Also then obviously I end up with one boob deflated and the other ready to explode! Can this be of any problem to me? I am worrying about mastitis etc....

& also is it a bad idea to offer a dummy to a bfed baby, just worrying about it stuffing up her attachment?

All help appreciated!
