Hey Missy
between shaking her head, chomping down the second that something gets into her mouth and grabbing onto everything with her hands she's caused a fair amount of nipple damage!! The LC suggested a day or two rest for my nipples, so am expressing milk and he's feeding her with a syringe. We were told no bottles as fake teats can confuse them until breastfeeding is established (they're a totally different sucking motion, and easier than breast, so many babies won't go back to breast after bottle), and I'm not to feed her as she needs to associate mummy with BBs. Syringe is easier than cup feeding, and ensures that she gets more food.
back on the pump for me!! Feel like a freakin' cow getting milked all the time!!!
