My 7 week old baby had her tongue tie division on Wednesday by a private LC after painful breastfeeding. Thankfully the pain has gone and I am so grateful but there's still issues! I was aware we'd need to relearn how to do it because she's picked up bad habits but I can't for the life of me get her to take in enough of the areola to latch properly, I have to kind of push enough in but she slides back on to just past the nipple which has left a ring around where she always attaches. The clicking sound is driving me insane meaning she's not latched properly. I've got big boobs so I know she'll struggle, positioning was said to be fine and we adopt the cradle hold.
If I hand express, for me to get anything out, it's so far back up my areola that she'd never fit all of that in her mouth!
AIBU to be frustrated by the fact we're still having issues? (I'd never show it.) What on earth can I do?
