Some advice ladies??

Jelly_Tot · Jul 29th, 2009, 05:23 AM

Okay so with aiden i FF but i always wish i gave BF a go! (it kinda feels like i let myself and aiden down not even giving it a shot!)

Now i am expecting bub number 2 i am DEFO! gonna try BF!!!!

But.... I am concerned about it being too sore and cracked nipples ect (i did try expressing for aiden but my nipples got cracked and tore too shreds which really hurt!)

Any advice ladies too stop this happening and too make sure i enjoy BF bub #2??

Any advice/tips would be much appreciated

Have a read of the sticky thread at the top of this board for what helped when starting out. Soreness is usually associated with poor positioning so make sure you know where to get help in advance this time - check where your local support group is. Be prepared to get sore again as unfortuantely for many it's just part of the deal but also remember it wont last.

hey hun, the miracle cure is Lansinoh cream. No joke i had to take painkillers before i fed Soph and my midwife gave me some of this cream and within 2 days i was feeding her without a thought! xx

I ff my first two tried to bf my 2nd looking back I stopped because too painful, have bf leo now 4 weeks since birth and first few days was well sore (nips!!) but had lots mw advice seems problems caused by baby not latching on properly. I too used Lansinoh cream and was amazed how good it was only used about three times and problem solved! Its expensive tho or I think so I paid £10 worth it but still..x x x x hope this helps
