We are two weeks postpartum and finally I'm starting to get some relief when baby latches! I noticed a difference after rubbing breastmilk on my nipple, letting air dry, then applying lanolin. My right side is still a little tender, but at least I can now see the light at the end of the painful beginning. My baby has also gotten better, he can now properly latch by himself. No more squishing boob and stuffing in mouth. It's so amazing to see him do it by himself! We've had plenty of practice. Yesterday he fed every hour for 12 hours! Growth spurt I suppose. He poops like 10x a day. So my life revolves around him every moment. I know it gets better! Enjoying this time
