oh yeah I had really painful letdowns my nipples were alright besides them kind of chaping because she couldn't fully latch right even when a L.C showed me 11/5 month and 2 to 3 weeks of pumping still didn't help how painful everything was made my nipples worse by the end of it

same here. in the beginning we did it straight from the tit but my nipples were hurting so bad I decided to just pump which ended up being way easier anyway. @jessical

i tried breast feeding with my daughter and ever time it hurt . But i only beast fed for 3 or 4 weeks i was producing enough.

My daughter was born with a tongue and lip tie so it prevented her from a proper latch, by the time we had her surgery done she was already used to the bottle nipple so I still pump for her but I miss the bond.

I was lucky. Quinn latched on right away at the first feeding. sometimes id really have to squish my boob so she could get as much nipple and latch on easier. @mystic-gray

I wish my daughter would latch like that. 😩
