Breastfeeding

Normal or bad latch?

Yesterday was day 2 of having dd mostly on the breast (vs EPing - I'm still pumping/bottle feeding at night though)...and my nipples are really sore.  I know some soreness is normal...

After she eats, my nipple is very elongated and flattened, if that makes sense.  Is this normal, or does it mean her latch isn't good?  She seems to have a lot of gum contact with my nipples and it's tricky to get her mouth open enough to latch properly.
