Me too! Mine was born on the 25th and I’m trying so hard to push through… my nipples feel like they’ve been grated with a cheese grater. I just try and distract myself from the pain, it won’t be sore for long and it is nothing compared to labour! You’ve got this x
Hiya. Bless you it’s so painful isn’t it. The only 2 options you have if you want to breastfeed is to keep feeding your baby as much as she demands, your boobs shouldn’t feel full afterwards-if so try to get a deeper latch. Or you could express some off I have a Hakka which isn’t as painful or long winded as a pump. If baby has slept a little longer and my boobs are too engorged I use the Hakka to get some milk off as babies find it hard to latch if your babies are too full x
