Please help I'm in agony.
Baby girl is 5 days old. She was diagnosed with a tongue tie by the peditrition at 3 days old. She's put us through for an emergency appointment but we have to wait for a letter.
My nipples are shredded. I feel like I have a low supply especially at night. Last night she fed at 11, then up at 12.30 until 5 just feeding and crying because my boobs were so deflated she couldn't latch on. All while I was crying in pain. I'm also recovering from a c section. She won't settle at all unless she's on the boob. She has a strong sucking urge and as soon as she falls asleep and unlatches she wants to go again. I don't even get a let down sometimes just feel her sucking as if she would on a dummy.
I topped her up last night with an oz of formula but made no difference so I'm not doing that again as I felt awful!
Dp has bought me a Madela (?) pump which is coming today to try and express so I can top up at night when my boobs are hurting majorly.
My boobs are so painful, the ache when they are empty is that normal? I'm so exhausted.
