Why are you struggling?? Sore nipples? He won’t latch?

I have large breasts and breastfeeding. What are you struggling with? Xx

Big breasted here too! If you give a bit more detail I can share advice I was given from breastfeeding consultant and tips and tricks. It is hard with big boobs (and big nipples that come with it!) So don’t beat yourself up, breastfeeding is not easy and often we get left to just get on with it x

I had the same struggle as my little one was tiny and tongue tied. Have you tried lying down next to baby or rugby hold? You can also pump/
Hand express if engorged to take boobs down a bit x

I was struggling too!! Large breast and soft nipples, I tried nipple shield but it keep falling off, now it seems pumping is the only solution, i do thrice a day and my little one is gaining weight so for a time ill continue with it.

I feel your pain. I'm an L cup and my nipples are far too big for my baby to get her mouth around. I'm exclusively expressing and right now I have an infection and I'm engorged on one side and feeling awful. I want to give up too. You're not alone x
Hard to find a comfortable position for me and him
He gets hiccups after every feed so I think his latch is not great
Afraid I'm gonna squish him...
