Danielle, I recommend an ABA counsellor or professional lactation consultant. I wish I'd used one for my first baby, because it really does become an amazing experience once problems are sorted. A pro will cost money but it is totally worth it. My ds latches on by sucking my nipple into his mouth. He unlatches by reefing his mouth off. This was a major issue and I had sore nipples and tried for days, every single feed, to unlatch and then relatch trying to train him to not use certain behaviours. But oddly, he still does it but I'm not sore anymore. His attachment while feeding is fine, it's just the on/off bits that were a concern and I worried I'd be in pain for the years I wish to feed. But as long as your attachment while feeding is good, it may be a case of hold on for a couple of weeks more until it balances out. But I would certainly find out for sure if he needs correction or if it is a wait it out situation. Nothing beats hands on advice. Good luck to you and welcome, btw.
