I agree, make sure you see a private LC as soon as you have any problems.

I just wanted to add that having BF 3 babies (and still BFing my 3rd) I have found that each time it was a little different so yes, a lot does depend on the baby too.

My first baby fed very well, although she was very energetic and didn't like to lie still for long in the end... shorter and shorter feeds led to her weaning at 9 months. I didn't fully understand the benefits of BFing back them or else I would have tried a little harder to keep going for a year.

My second baby was also a good feeder but something about his sucking made it kinda uncomfortable... maybe it was a bit of vasopspasm, maybe he has a mild tongue tie... i don't know but I put up with it for 9 months then gave up because it was still mildly uncomfortalble right to the end... not bad enough for me to seek help though... but I wish I had anyhow.

My third baby has also been a good feeder... but he has been a BITER!
He has drawn blood about 3 times and once I had to resort to ABM because even expressing was too painful. Lanisoh (which i had previously never used even though i got free samples in Bounty bags) all of a sudden became very useful (helps faster healing). Still, he has settled down a bit now and I've even gone onto re-lactation tablets to help boost my supply which fell due to the use of ABM. I'm hoping to feed him until winter is over (at the very least)... longer if he wants (and doesn't bite!)

So from my experience each baby is different, even in subtle ways, so *fingers crossed* for you that your next BFing experience is a little easier

ETA: oh and hiring an electric pump from the chemist was the best thing I ever did! I loved having a stockpile of frozen EBM so that going out wasn't such an issue. Highly recommended! I only did this with my 3rd.... wish i had done it for my first and second.
