Oh that's no good either! The LC should be working with you to fix attachment and get your nipples back in shape! You poor thing - it's good he's getting plenty, but you can't feed with your nipples in that sort of condition.

I found the medala (sp?) ones worked better than avent ones.

Is pumping comfortable on your nipple? I'd pump at the same time as feeding if you can - might find it a bit easier to get letdown. Your breasts will adjust to producing milk whenever you do it. I haven't expressed that much though so someone else will have better advice probably.

Take care of yourself - you're a very hardworking mummy right now
