Dd is 10 days old and feeding gaining weight well.
Left boob is fine but right one has really sore cracked nipple and I'm getting over mastitis.
The mastitis is better on antibiotics and pretty sure I've unblocked it all but nipple is agony! It's so sore when dd first latches on but then eases off as the milk letsdown.
When in hospital I caught my nipple with my hospital bracket - sounds stupid but I know this made it sore .
Could I have a poor latch one side only? Midwife seemed to think latch was ok but I know they are not experts. As it doesn't hurt for the whole feed is it likely to be the latch?
So want to get feeding right but it feels like we've been through a lot and it's only day 10!!
