Feed lying down when you can. Do the rolled up towel under the boob thing if you have to sit up to feed. I just used the regular hold, didn't do well with the football hold etc. I sometimes have to pick up my boob to place the nipple in baby's mouth which I'm sure isn't something smaller breasted women have to do

Football hold is brilliant for large breasted women and Lansinoh is excellent for cracked nipples, put a drop of breastmilk on the nipple, lansinoh over the top and leave off the bra for as long as possible.
Make sure you have correct attachment from the get go, so that you don't get too much nipple irritation. If your baby is feeding (you can see sucking and swallowing) and content and sleeping some of the time then they are getting enough. You don't need to see it. Always at first I will make a lot of milk and be able to express easily and as time goes on it's not so easy, even after breastfeeding 6 babies well into toddlerhood I can't express a lot - it doesn't mean I am not producing a lot. Expressing just never worked for me. Goodluck |

I don't have big boobs or ever had cracked nipples but I know a friend of mine had cracked nipples and was told to go topless in the sun and her nipples healed. I have told other friends this advice and it worked for their nipples!
Wishing you all the best. |

I am a 10GG and have found the easiest hold is where if I am feeding from the left breast - I hold my breast with my left hand and the baby with my right. Baby gets a good attachment and feeds really well. I also use a feeding pillow so that I don't get tired arms holding in this position.
It's a bit tricky feeding in public this way, but have managed to get it down pat since having dd 10 weeks ago. Good luck! I would also see a lactation consultant while still in hospital to give you some tips. My midwife was fantastic, so I didn't need the lactation consultant. |

I hold the breast I'm feeding from with that hand and hold baby with the other. It does get easier as they get bigger

Baby gets a good attachment and feeds really well. I also use a feeding pillow so that I don't get tired arms holding in this position. That'w how I feed DD for the first 6 months or so. I just used a normal pillow, I found the breastfeeding ones weren't a good or as big. I slathered on the lansinoh after every feed and after a shower but the correct position did the best to fix the cracks. Also expressing is not a sign of how much milk you are making. I could never express much but DD always got enough for herself since she could get it out better than any breat pump. |

The easiest positions for me were either lying down or a feeding billow for support my baby with be breasts hanging in their natural position. I also hasd to remmber not to hunch over to take care of my back. It gradually got easier and eaiser until I coudl do it walking around hehehe
I did often have to hold the breats away from their faces so they could breathe. |

Lots of Lansinoh, also once bubs has finished rub breast milk into nipples and let air dry if you can.
I also found that I could express fine up until about the 4-5 month with both, then I struggled after that, probably more me than breast size. |
