Boobs Broken???

My baby latched on the very first day, my breasts got larger , painful and nipple larger and darker, now only 10 days after giving birth baby finds it hard to latch on as my breast are very soft and the nipple have gone light again, i have never had large nipple at all so i thought it might be a problem, but i have been fine upto now! Could my milk have stopped already?!? I do use the bottle some times too when my nipples hurt sooooo much! i used a balm that was safe for baby which really helped, would that have done something??? Please help!

No idea yet.   Wish I could help.

It might be nipple confusion. Stop with the bottles.

Try pumping a little before feeding.

Where does it say she used bottles? Did I miss something?

Lol. Yes.

She uses bottles when her boobs hurt.

Using. bottle can hurt your milk supply. if your nips are hurtibg badly,i would have latch checked. You may just no longer be engorged. nurse on demand an cut out bottles, lots of skin.to.skin!

OOO. I see it now. Damn skim reading.  

Thanks guys,
i use bottles once or twice a day only if that,
my nips dont hurt as much so i dont use bottles as much now
baby girl is tongue tied so i dont think that helps, will have to get that sorted.
But I am feeding from breasts more than ever now as she wants feeding nearly every hour! but my boobs are not as full and solid as normal??

Empty breasts make more milk. meaning when your breasts are empty it signals to your body to make more   eating every hour is normal
