Trying to breastfeed but my daughter refuses to latch the correct way to my breast because of my nipples being huge then before...so I just pump my milk from a pump and give it to her thru the bottle but now it's like my milk supply is leaving and I only pumped out 3 ounces from each breast yesterday when a few days ago I pumped out about 5 ounces from each breast and sometimes more...and one of my breast is so sore and hurts like a sharp pinch feeling has anyone experienced this?What to do?

This is all normal!!!! And 3 oz from each side at 1 wk is amazing supply!!! Keep latching baby and pump only as needed. She will learn with time and your nips will eventually get used to the process. I had everything you mentioned and it was hard in the beginning. But after about 6 weeks is when it starts getting better. Your breasts will change and the flow will change. Most important thing is that baby girl is having dirty and wet diapers regularly. Diaper output is your number one indicator of whether she is getting enough. And then her growth and weight gain.
