So I'm breast feeding and my 2 day old had a bad latch earlier on in feeding attempts. After meeting with the consultant in the hospital, we were trying nipple shields over my nipple since they are flat, but it's too late and my nipples hurt at every feeding. Consultants In the hospital basically said to tough it out. Anyone with a similar experience or advice?
I'm in the very same situation. Honestly, some days are better than others. It's not easy and it hurts like hell some days. But do your best to keep at it, it's definitely worth it. Try pumping if you're able, I sometimes find it to be less painful.
