Sore breasts

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone - apologies for the delay in replying,
we've been away for the Easter weekend. I will definitely try alternating
hot and cold, avoid soap etc. I've seen the gel breast pads, so I'll look
out for them again. I'm sure it isn't mastitis :-) It is both breasts, and
all over, plus I have no fever or flu-ey feelings.

Thanks for the stories about how it feels to feed after a long break. Seems
like it is painful for some, not so bad for others. There is a breast
feeding workshop locally, run by the midwives, so I'll check it out. A
refresher in latching & positioning may help to stop and problems before
they start :-)

I appreciate the advice and support :-)
