I figured we had enough babies here to start this 
I'm 3 days out and, as always, a mess. Weepy, emotional, all over the charts.
Breastfeeding is going badly and I am so disappointed and frustrated. I was really hoping it would be different this time. The babies lower jaw is recessed like my last babies (although his lips are normal... just thin) and I am guessing that is the cause of the pain and slowly evolving nipple damage. His latch looks right on the outside, but it's hurting pretty badly when he eats. Every now and then I get a good feeding where it doesn't hurt as much, but that's few and far between. And he fights me! Ugh. It's just miserable.
He is ORANGE even though his bili numbers weren't too high (8.7). Trying to keep him near a window from time to time.
