having hard time breast feeding im about to give up

don't give up what are you having a hard time with ?

it just hurts when he's on it.. so i think I'm doing it wrong.. hes 3 days old

@mrscruz0530,

Do you hear a smacking noise when he latches on? if so he's not latching on properly. also your nipples will hurt for a good week. my son made both mine blister and then crack open. now he's 9 days old and my nipples don't hurt anymore and he never had a latching on issue just a very strong suction.

Get a breast shield. I quit breast feeding the day I left the hospital and just pumped and fed him a bottle and the breast shield has made him latch right on no problems now I breast feed again

most likely he is latching wrong are you putting your nipple in his mouth? how about trying a different position my daughter would only eat in the football Hold position for a while maybe try a different way

it definitely hurts in the beginning. I spent a few nights crying. but I promise it gets easier, hang in there mama💕

Girl as a mom that is literally in the same boat as you right now, a nipple shield is sooooo worth getting !! He latched on perfectly on the boob with a little ass nipple lmao but so much milk came out .. I was so happy lol

hes latching on right it just really hurts i think he sucks too hard.. i will buy a nipple sheild tomarrow @withlovechris i thought they didnt work

@tiffrae, @kmhicksyy @babyreynolds

try the nipple sheild and see if that's best for you. I never gave it an option I just sucked it up and made a I'm in pain face while wiggling my toes as he latched on.

i will see i really don't want to give up @tiffrae

Will power girl! you got this🙌😀
