My baby is now 5 month and I've been breast feeding from day 1. Although I suffered a lot the first few months because of sore nipples, then realized it was because she had a bad latch. It got better around the 3rd month, and by the 4th month the doctor told me to start supplementing with formula because she was not gaining enough weight. For the past month my right breast nipple (which is her favorite, because it appears to always have more milk) it's been sore on and off. I'm pretty sure is due to her latch, but I have been trying to fix it and apparently I can't. It looks like she is doing a good job, but it gets all blistered and it hurts. Sometimes more than others. It's a pain I can handle but it's annoying. Specially now because I think she is teething and I use my breast to comfort her often. So how can I fix this? And also is it ok to comfort her with my breast? Is it also possible for her to have a bad latch only in one breast. Because the left one it's perfect!
Also, she is been feeding for shorter periods of time. She used to take about 15-20min on each breast and now it takes her 5-10min. And she doesn't seem to get hungry more often. She is peeing and pooping good 6 to 8 times a day, and her mood is great. So I guess she is good. But still seems weird to feed for that short amount of time, and sometimes she doesn't even want the supplement of formula, so I guess she is satisfied with the breast...
