It was the only way I could latch my babies properly.  If you want more info about the "laid back" nursing, let me know and I'll find one of our moms who had a lot of success with it (she had a huge oversupply/overactive let down).

She has only been on breast once today. Tried the laid back hold but it still hurt. I think I'm just prolonging pain, and sadness if I carry on. She's happy, and growing with the formula. I'm just going to move on and enjoy her. My supply is definitely going down now. I tried, and have given her the best start I could with colostrum.

Just want to thank you all for the advice and support I think I would have been completely depressed without it. Xxx

*hugs*
As long as she's able to get what she needs from the bottle - if she's still struggling with lots of dribbling/clicking etc, please seek some further help.  :-*
