I have to say I am pretty proud of myself because I did not even make it this far with DS. Vivian is almost 2 weeks old and we are doing really well with breastfeeding!

I do have some questions though. Her latch is good on the left side but when I put her up to my right breast she doesn't want to open her mouth for me. My nipple is starting to get pretty sore. Insight?

Also, should I be using both sides at each feeding? If I offer both sides which side do I offer first at the next feeding? Or, should I have her empty one side and then empty the other at the next feeding?

Thanks!
