bleeding from one boob? how will I feed my baby?
So I'm 5 weeks into ebf. Still having issues even tho Iv had the latch down for a few weeks. Last night put my baby to eat in the right side, after a minute she pulled herself off and there was blood around her mouth! I was shocked! I put her to the other boob which thankfully filled her up even tho I had just fed her on that side. 5 hours pass (she sleeps 5 hour stretches in the night) I feed her on my good boob and thankfully she didn't need anymore (during the day she needs both boobs) my bad boob was feeling hard and engorged so I pumped, hoping there would be no blood and I could give her this milk in the morning! NO I pumped a solid 3.5 oz and I could of done more! And I had to dump it! It was red with blood! What am I to do? Baby can't survive on just one boob??
