Ouch...
We've been nursing for over nine months now (yay us!), but baby girl has started to hurt me again. I haven't felt pain like this since that first month. I think it's a combination of two things: 1) side-lying nursing (we have a hard time getting a properly placed latched, but it's SO convenient for middle-of-the-night feedings, which we're doing twice a night now) and 2) her getting distracted but forgetting she's still attached. Ouch. She'll go to look at something and clamp down with her gums or lips and pull away. I'm actually in a lot of pain, even just when moving around or something. Hopefully sitting up to nurse each time and holding her closer and paying more attention to her latch will help. For now, though, I will be popping some extra Advil!
