Still not getting the latch right?
Me and my bf have done casual ABF for about two years now. He’s only dry suckling as we’ve realised neither one of us have the time or energy inducing would take, but we’re both excited for the day I get pregnant and can lactate naturally.
However, we’re still not getting the latch right. I don’t know what we’re doing wrong, maybe my boobs are too big? But I always get this almost like a burning sensation in my nipples whenever he suckles and then they’re sore for I kid you not DAYS. (Obviously he doesn’t suckle when I hurt). For the AFABs, you ever get that kind of like cold pain in your vulva when on your period? It’s that feeling, except my nipples.
We’ve tried going deeper, slower, less suction, you name it we’ve tried it. I’m finding myself less excited about our sessions because of the pain, and my nipples have definitely lost some sensitivity over these two years. Oddly enough I didn’t feel this was such a big provlem in the beginning? But then again nowadays he basically has to suckle to fall asleep and we did it a lot less in the beginning of our relationship so maybe that’s why.
Anyone else that’s had this happen? Or knows what we’re doing wrong? I’m gonna start believing I’m just allergic to his saliva soon…
