3 weeks and I'm still having trouble breastfeeding
Babies latch is good on the right but I can't get it on the left. My nipple is super sore on the left. My right Breast was overproducing for a while and I was painfully engorged within an hour of breastfeeding. Then I got what feels like a bunch of blocked milk ducts and now I'm not producing much milk on the right. So now my right breast is sore all over except for the nipple. It just seems like a constant struggle. Baby Liliana has gained weight beautifully but she is driving her mama crazy. She feeds every 1hr-2hrs during the day and 2-3hrs at night. And she can feed for 30min. She spits up a lot so I keep her up right for 10-20min if she doesn't burp. So I'm lucky if I get 45min of sleep in between. I've seen a lactation consultant twice now but not since the blocked ducts. Anyway are there any of you having this much trouble? I feel terrible and cry all the time about this. I want to quit but I know I'd feel even worse if I do.
