However, it seems like since my milk came in, getting her to latch is a huge battle! She'll give cues she's hungry; sucking fists, making sucky faces etc, but when I put her on my boob, she pushes it away and puts her hands in the way (she is VERY strong!), cries, then goes back to sucking her fist. If we put a finger in her mouth, she sucks away happily (but obviously, no milk in there!). Also, she seems to like to latch on the left side, and struggles with the right. I even did an experiment of pumping an oz from each boob, and they both gave an oz in less than 10 minutes, with plenty still left in there (dumped it though... don't want to use bottles until she's happy with boobs).

So, the only thing I can think of, is that something to do with my milk is putting her off? Could it be the change from familiar colostrum to this new abundant but different tasting food? It's getting frustrating, because I want to feed her, and she's hungry, but every feed for the last day has been a battle, and my boobs are pretty engorged 😖

Has anyone had a familiar experience? Any advice, or reassurance that it will improve?

--------*UPDATE*-------

Thankyou SO MUCH for your advice! Expressing an oz from each boob really made a difference! Not only was I more comfortable, my daughter latched on with absolutely no crying or struggling! Absolutely straight away! And for each subsequent feed, she's been the same! So yes, turns out I was too engorged and she couldn't get a good latch! I feel so much happier now that feeding time is less of a struggle! 😊 infact, she's actually feeding more as a result, as we're both feeling a little more confident! 

I can't believe the difference! Thankyou so much! ❤️
