Cluster feeding

Me too! The midwife advised squeezing abit of your breast milk onto the nipple and let them air dry or if out squeeze some into a silverette and put in your bra, also maybe try some nipple cream a thin layer

@Paige this helps soooo much Also offer a dummy instead of boob if you know they are full 😂

Apparently it's only something that last about 2 weeks while they build up their supply xxx

Silverettes have been absolutely amazing for me when my baby's latch has been a bit wayward with fast letdown. They were the first recommendation from several people when I was getting my kit together. Since you are going through a cluster feeding week there's also no better time to make sure your latch is spot on. You shouldn't really be getting that sore, even from cluster feeding.

Try jelonet if your boobs are sore. It was recommended to me in a breastfeeding support group and helped me big time. It’s designed to help heal burn wounds but soothes sore nipples very quickly.

@Sophie my boy won’t take a dummy, and if he did, he won’t fall asleep the way he falls asleep on my boob 😥
