Ren, I can't breastfeed in the normal cradle position and haven't been able to for either of my boys. I have very large breasts (12F/G) and have to hold them to feed and even have to squeeze them a bit to get the nipple in J's mouth. I remember that it got a little easier with Ben, but I always have to hold my breast because of the size I remember reading an article on Aborigine women who breastfeed and my technique sounds a lot like what they do. Total opposite to what you're taught by m/ws I take my breast to baby for example. Oh well, it works for me!

Gypsy, did you try Max on EBM or fomula? I had to buy the Tomee Tippee breast and bottle bottles for J as he wouldn't take my EBM out of the Avent bottles He really likes the TT ones though

I've had a really rough night. J is really out of sorts. I didn't get to bed until 4am after J being up most the night and then B stirring a bit too. Then B was up at 6:30am so I'm really pooped. We just got them both down, only to have J wake up after 15 mins! Not sure what's going on, he isn't crying, just not sleeping

Anyway, I'm going to try feeding him again.
