In breastfeeding videos. It's not the calm and measured experience. It's not slow and accurate. My experience is arms waving in unhelpful directions, arching away from the breast, headbutting into the breast, sideways gurning in the opposite direction etc
My nipples are sore and potentially bruised. It hurts deep into the breast after a feed. The latch looks correct and feels fine after the first couple of sore sucks.
This is dd2 so you'd think I'd know what I'm doing, I feel like I'm failing massively .
Hv suspects thrush - dds tongue is white and from how my breasts feel.
What can I do?
Will the prescribed stuff work?
Shall I just give up and ff?
