breast feeding 😭

Louise • teacher-mama of 2💜💙

Hi ladies, my little one is 2 weeks old today! we started with a terrible latch that wasn’t corrected quick enough. which has led to me having horrifically cracked nipples- since day 1. i have tried everything to heal them but i am in AGONY every feed and am now beginning to dread feeding. I am crying at every feed time and even the idea of expressing makes me scared for the pain. I have been battling against switching to formula because i really wanted to breast feed but i am struggling both physically and mentally. Any advice would be appreciated! Have any of you given up breast feeding at 2 weeks? how did you dry up your milk?
