Try as I may, it seems I can't completely get a proper latch. My nipples are SO SORE. Baby is a week old, and my nipples are still bleeding and getting scabs. I've tried to get her to latch correctly, but no matter what I do it still hurts really bad for the first 30 seconds or so (like someone is slicing my nipple with a razor kind of hurt). I have slathered my nipples in Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter, tried adjusted babies latch, gone shirtless for 3 days. Anyone have any advice that worked for them?!! It's even hurting to pump because of how sore my nipples are getting. I thought yesterday they were getting better but the pain has come back with a vengeance.
