Hang in there! It may be difficult now with the confinement, pain and all but you need to believe in yourself that you can get the hang of breastfeeding soon. Think about all the benefits of breastfeeding and the bonding you can have with your baby. Check your baby’s latching, apply some nipple cream or breast milk after every breastfeeding session. It’s also normal for your baby to keep wanting to latch now since babies can eat whenever they want when they are in our tummies. Try not to give a bottle too soon to avoid nipple confusion. You can try syringe or cup feeding.
