I'm having trouble with DS's latch, and my left boob is soooooo painful. Rather than push it and hurt it further, I'm going to give it a break and feed Henry pumped milk during that feeding. We'll use a medicine dropper rather than a bottle (since we had nipple confusion issues already) and I'm hoping this will help heal a little. We'll see!!

You might try these gel pads...it's the only thing that got me through the first couple weeks with DD2. She had a bad latch that took awhile to get corrected...these pads were so soothing it was amazing!
Re: Giving my boob a break tonight
We used a little plastic medicine cup as needed the first couple weeks. I nursed mostly but had to take a few breaks and pump as well.
Oh and hang in there. It will get better.
