my 2 week old seems to be doing great when nursing however he keeps getting sick and i mean alot hes putting out good amounts of wet diapers and bms that are good mustard color but it seems like he is hardly keeping anything in. also he only nurses for 10 mins on one side and that satisfies him for 2 to 3 hours i dont know if this is normal and then theres me i am having trouble getting him to take the breast in any other position other then cradle and in my attempts i have gotten very swollen sore nipples i have been using lanolin after every feed but they really hurt. when i am nursing i dont have that much discomfort other then the initial latch. at this point any advice would help
thank you

for me....I had really bad cracked nipples...I expressed breastmilk after each feeding and let it air dry....it helped so much more then the lanolin. Just my expericence :)
