Lil, they told me to hold my boob like a hamburger, believe it or not, with my thumb right near the part of my nipple which will be in contact with Bella's top lip. (I hope that makes sense???) The rest of my fingers are well away from the bottom part of the nipple and that allows bub to take more of the bottom part into their mouth. The nipple is the last part to go into bub's mouth. Also, I wasn't holding Bella far enough over - it's supposed to be like she's going to overshoot my boob! I wish I could draw a picture as it would be much easier to explain! lol

Have you tried talking to the Australian Breastfeeding Association? I believe they have a free counselling line where you can get help. I'm not sure my description will help or not, but I sure hope it does as the agony of not having bub attach properly was getting unbearable for me and they explained that as she wasn't attaching properly, she wasn't draining the milk ducts efficiently, therefore causing me to stop making enough milk so I had to feed more often and be in even more pain. Vicious circle I tell you!!!
