BFing not going so easily for us. Its soooo painful. Went to see the mchn today and she did nothing to help. I had problems with DD too and all of the info and suggestions she gave me I had for DD too. It's not that I don't know whats wrong, I just can't seem to fix it! He's just so frantic to get onto the boob and won't attach properly. subsequently he's given me cracks and abrasions on my nipples. He threw up blood last night cause he sucked so hard in the wrong way and made me bleed. I'm in tears when he attaches to my right breast. I got some sheilds today but they don't let him drain my breast properly. I so just want this to be easier. He's not sleeping so great either. I thought I was tired getting up to DD a few times a night....well, now I'm tired. Last night we were up from 2.30am-5am. Just trying to settle him. Feed, burp, settle, rock, change nappy, feed.......I am soooo tired. adn now he's unsettled again.

Ugh, anyway enough with the whining these are the joys of having two babies under 18mths! But I must admit he's still pretty gorgeous!!!
