Breastfeeding makes my tailbone (no matter what im sitting on) and shoulders hurt. Any tips to make it more comfortable. And any tips to help with nipple tenderness? Its not severe pain. Just mild discomfort and tenderness until both me and baby get it down/ get used to it. (No latch problems. Just getting my nipples used to the abuse)
Put a bit of breastmilk over your nipples after each feed and let it air dry, it really helps. Prop a pillow under baby so they’re slightly raised when you’re feeding to help with shoulder pain and prop yourself up as much as possible with pillows to help the tailbone pain. I get tailbone pain as well still 10 months in but it’s because I’m not supporting myself properly. It’s all gets easier the older they get because you can move around more.
My MIL is planning on staying in the hospital the entire time I’m in labor. I don’t want that. Any tips on how to deal with this? Why can’t my MIL understand that labor is private for us😩 And when the baby is here she’s never going to leave us or the baby alone. She’s really testing my patience😡

Any tips on getting baby off pacifier for good?
what can I use for the tenderness of the nipples.... Just like hell
Have you tried lanolin? If the latch is good, discomfort should go away after a week or two. It did for me, but I used a lot of lanolin. As for breastfeeding positions, maybe try reclined breastfeeding for shoulders to relax or laying down sideways to put pressure off your tailbone?
