And they kill.
I’ve had to wear nipple shields as my daughter won’t take as they’re so full!
They’re leaking milk all through the night too. Very big, very painful! Does the pain subside?
Urghhh
Bodies in tatters from forcep delivery, exhaustion and this breast feeding minefield.
Help as it’s getting me down and I don’t wanna be 🫠😭😒

I found an ice pack wrapped in a tea towel helped to reduce the swelling as well as sleeping on my back with an extra pillow. Breastfeeding really is a minefield! X

My midwife helped me big time on this one and Padsicles are your best friends here. Cut a pad in half and freeze them in ziplock bag and pop them inside your bra. Have a warm shower then and hand express right away.

I am breastfeeding, and she has not latched well to the left breast. I have found expressing until breast soft, and she goes on, and it is not painful.
I use an electric breast pump
