You can also to talk to your OB because the lactation consultant at our hospital recommended a cream that is prescription only for sore nipples. My problem with my middle one was a)she was a hoover vacuum and b) when she latched on she clamped down. We remedied that situation by apply pressure on her jaw when latching and eventually that trained her to loosen up. Breastfeeding is DEFINATELY not for people who may want to do it. I see more often then not that these people go to bottle before they leave the hospital! Keep your spirits up you are doing something that is so special for your little one :) I can't even imagine missing out on that bonding time that I had with my babies. It will get better! I promise:)<br />Jennee KolthoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570306247211349099.post-69647642191467698262011-07-26T22:27:08.185-05:002011-07-26T22:27:08.185-05:00Breast feeding is no fun in you first start but it...Breast feeding is no fun in you first start but it's such a wonderful bonding experiences.

Sometimes they just like to suck and aren't really hungry (As I recall).<br /><br />All I know is, I kept pushing and pushing the binky until Mellie finally took it. I think I tried 3-4 different ones. It took a few weeks. Beckie loved it from the get go. :D Just sayin'... ;D<br /><br />~~ Love, Auntie Glenna Sue MagooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570306247211349099.post-37735504404192687842011-07-26T22:04:37.513-05:002011-07-26T22:04:37.513-05:00would love to give you some advice but I think I h...would love to give you some advice but I think I have it easier in a way. I have to use a nipple shield so I don't have her actually suckling on me. Stick with it though. I hear the first few months are the toughest so if you can just get past them it is supposed to be easier. Good Luck!!Kimberly Hoskinsonnoreply@blogger.com
