BREASTFEEDING - not easy for me (feel free to leave any advice)

Ok so in the hospital no one told me how to do it... so i tried a technique i saw on youtube... i must say, to make this story short: breastfeeding for me has been terrible :( a trauma. My baby will be 2 months old in 2 weeks and still hurts! definitely i'm doing something wrong... i can't make her latch on properly. I have sore and cracked (and sometimes) bleeding nipples...

I know there are many lactation consultants out there but honestly, i don't have a car, i have no family here besides my husband (and he has to work everyday) and i keep telling myself: it will get better eventually ... still waiting for that moment :( but anyway i'm breastfeeding since day 1 and i'll keep doing it.

@km416, im sorry to hear that, my baby has no teeth but i've heard about fake nipples you can use to protect your nipples from teeth! Also, try to get some help with your baby... it most be difficult for you with the pregnancy but hang in there. Ill pray for you! - @kambam, i just saw a video about the flipple technique and its not that different than what ive been doing 🤔 thats why im so frustrated... i feel like im doing what the books and videos say but its still painful.... not as before but yes, painful.

that's awesome youre still doing your best. YouTube can be amazing. the flipple technique helped me and also trying every position to see what your baby likes. mine was super lazy and I couldn't get him to latch. I was so fed up one day that I layed down skin to skin so he could be near my breasts, and he spontaneously latched well! I hope you're able to get help so you can continue your journey ❤

trust me it took me a while at first. then she got teeth and the pain came back. now I'm breastfeeding pregnant with her getting more teeth and I'm just in as much pain as I was when I first started. just hang in there your doing fine.

Breastfeeding is hard and it takes time most mothers don't come comfortable till bout 2-3 months so don't worry! Most likely baby isn't latching right because breastfeeding doesn't hurt ur very determined and that's super good don't beat ur self up over it it's a lot of work but we are super moms! There is a mom on here that could give u tips she's great!
