Dachlostar, I couldnt agree more. I keep reminding myself of the goodness of breastmilk and it makes the pain (which like you said is nothing compared to childbirth) a little less. My nipples have almost recovered and I am slowly starting to find feeding a little easier already. Last night he had 15mins on each breast and I decided that was enough and he was content so I changed him and off he went to sleep, 45mins it took which I was really happy with, and he slept for 4 hours. I was told only once how painful breastfeeding could be and I thought to myself 'it cant be that bad', but I can now sympathise with those who cant get it happening!

Bon, I guess it is better for them to drink slow than fast to avoid colic/gas. Patience is the key, I just wish I had more!!
