Please help. My DD was born by ELCS on Monday morning and feeding was going really well until yesterday. Sometime over night either my nipples got sore or she forgot how to suck without hurting them. We've seen 3 different midwives about it, the infant feeding specialist and the peer supporter but all have said her latch is perfect. She has no tongue tie and is satisfied when done but it hurts me so much I'm having to stop her and swap sides after a few minutes.
Sometimes when I detach her my nipple comes out flattened and bleeding (and bloody painful). I don't want to stop feeding but I'm dreading her getting hungry again soon because I know how much its going to hurt. Please help.
