What to do when you can't breastfeed properly

What to do when you can't breastfeed properly
Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

I stopped feeding both Ella and Finlay after a few weeks because of a cracked nipple that wouldn't heal. When the same thing happened with my youngest, Sam, I read a magazine article that said you could feed from just one breast. I decided to give it a go, and here I am, still breastfeeding him nearly a year later.
