Well... I've given up...... ( again ). I've done this a few times.. but as soon as my boobs get full, I just can't resist the urge to put her to the breast, and it never seems to hurt as much when I'm really full of milk ?? I'm still getting the line across my nipple.. but it's only on the areola.. not across the tip.. which would suggest that it's the gums at the back that are clamping down. I've checked, and I can see her toungue on top of her lip, so it's not the gums at the front... I'm at a loss !!
I taken her off, and relatched sooo many times, but it always ends up the same !!!
I think I'm just gonna give her boob when I feel I can.. rather than set myself certain goals. I know now that she isn't gonna be a total Booby Baby....

I'm now inventing the term BOOTLE BABY !!!! And Mia is the first official Member of the BOOTLE BABY club

I just had a go with 'The Sandwich'.... had a fan-bloody-tastic first latch, actually the first time I've remembered what it should feel like !!!! But then 2 mins in, something happened, and there was the line again !!!! Now I can't get it again doing the sandwich........... but we were both stressed

I tried my best for 9 weeks & then had to make the decision that it wasnt for us...
