    Aw Som, sorry your feeling weepy. It's crazy how much of an impact our hormones have on us. I wasn't too bad for the first week or so, after DD, then I had a week or so where it all hit me!!

    You have prob tried it already, but I know some people have success with feeding with the rugby ball hold so it tricks them into thinking they are on the other boob iyswim. Also I always found left side more tricky as my right arm is stronger and therefore DD was better supported and fed easier, just felt more natural on the right side. I found lot's of pillows helped to prop arm up and so she was in a better position, also I found it helpful to keep taking her off then trying again if she latched on 'wrong' at first.

    Hope you feel brighter soon, I know this hideous weather doesn't help to lift your spirits I feel so glum atm just because it has been so grey, never mind the added stresses of new baby/ hormones etc.

    Som, I don't know if you've seen posts from Kindof today? She's been going through the same sort of thing with Elliot... It looks like they're sharing a growth spurt... It will be over soon, promise!

    You're doing the right thing expressing for comfort, just try to stay calm, maybe feed from the one side at the beginning of a feed and then swap halfway through once the big hunger has subsided... Or have a lie down on the bed and try that way... :)
