Just finally got a chance to catch up on the posts. I've been finding that Miya also falls asleep early in a feed so instead of taking her off to wake her I make sure I talk to her when her eyes start closing and also I tickle her nose to remind her what shes doing. It might work on hannah if she doesn't get too annoyed by it.
Hi Aimee! I hope things are going better with breastfeeding, it certainly sounded like your midwife has given you some help. When I got a cracked nipple my midwife gave me a nipple shield that you use while Bubs is feeding. I found that made things alot less painful while the crack healed up. I was told to just use breastmilk on my nipple to help with the healing & it certainly did the trick.
My sister in law used them full time because she wanted to breastfeed but she had really badly inverted nipples & her little girl just couldn't latch onto to them. They helped her out heaps, although in the end she gave up & put her daughter on the bottle.
Oh and as everyone else has said LLL are great if you find yourself struggling again.
