Hi
I'm having trouble feeding my one week old DS. It was ok in hospital but since my milk came in he is hard to latch and when he does it hurts. He doesn't seem to open his mouth wide enough (or maybe I have big areole?) I've tried different positions, expressing some off first etc.
He lost 10% of his birth weight so I've been expressing like mad on the midwives advice and he's putting on weight now, but I can't crack the breastfeeding. I know using bottles for the expressed milk isn't going to help either.
I'm wondering if he may be tongue tied. Can I ask what were your signs of a tongue tie and what happened?
Many thanks
