Answer from the lactation consultant

I have had a handful of clients who were bothered by the baby suckling at the breast. All of whom had emotional issues that needed to be addressed. Many of whom suffered abuse involving the breasts at some point. I am not saying this is the case with you but from my experience, I have seen it often. So first and foremost, if it is the case with you, please seek help from a licensed therapist. It may not resolve your ability to nurse but it may help to resolve some emotional issues.
As far as providing your baby with breastmilk, if pumping is a better plan for you, I have many pages on my website on how to keep your supply up.
Here is a good page to start with:
/milksupply.html
if you want more info after reading that page, simply go to the search this site button and type in pumping, many pages will come up

Hope this helps,
