The title says it all really - my dd took forever to feed in a way that didn't cause me pain (although she was getting plenty milk and not bothered!). She had a tongue-tie snipped when she was six weeks. She also has reflux which I'm medicating with gaviscon through a syringe after feeds.
Having been feeding without any discomfort for me for about five weeks, the last few days she has started really fussing when feeding, and slipping back to the end of my nipple no matter how well she has latched to begin with, which is causing pain again.
Today she has fed eight times, which is three more than usual, because she's fussing each time and only feeding for a short period. I am worried I don't have enough for her suddenly for some reason and she is getting frustrated. Other than coming off and on constantly, she is not upset when feeding though.
Anyone any ideas?
