LO is 4 days old , has lost 10% of his weight and I am 4 days post c-section. My milk hasn’t come in yet and I’ve been trying to place him on the breast and supplement with formula every 3 hours for the last couple of days.

My nipples though are so cracked and blistered that it hurts me so much to even place him on the boob. And I guess without placing him on the boob and just massaging it, I am affecting my supply.

I have no idea how to proceed from hereon as it seems like a circular problem. I have tried lanolin , hydrogel pads and warm compresses but nothing seems to work.
