unlatching baby from nipple...?
hello,
I have really sore nipples. Am using lansinoh (however spelt) on nipples after every feed which helps. However the last 24hrs they have been really sore...i think its cos lo is sucking well and falls asleep but is strongly still latched on. I have to pull her off which i think is what is making my nipples sore......how/what is the best way to get them to unlatch? Sounds silly but my sore nipples means pain when she feeds......which in turn puts me off wanting to breast feed less than 3 hrs at a time. I need time for them to recover!
Any ideas / avice most appreciated. anything to stop the pain! xxx

i was always told to squeeze little finger into baby's mouth to cover your nipple therefore blocking the milk flow and making baby come off the breast
hope this helps, didn't want to read and run!
I hope they heal soon for you.
was told how to latch but not unlatch
tried today and worked!
hopefully painfree less pink nipples soon!
