I work 2 days a week, so my DD has gotten a bottle from about 12 weeks on. Last week I went to a conference out of town, so she was getting a bottle for 5 days. When I got back she went back to nursing easily and happily (thank god), but her latch isn't as good. It's like she's using too much teeth. I have 4 top teeth marks on my areola after every nursing session. Ouch! It also feels like the area is bruised. It hurt to pump today at work. To make matters worse, my fertility is returning, so I think the area is just more sensitive. And, of course, DD is getting her molars.
I have tried to make sure she is very close before letting her latch on, that seems to get more areola. Any other advice?
