DS is 3 weeks tomorrow and breastfeeding is still so painful I have cried through a couple of feeds the last few days and dread every time he wakes up as I know it will be agony again. 4 midwives and 2
HV's have all told me latch is fine and no tounge tie which I kind of believe as I have had about 4/5 feeds which have been painfree (amazing!!!)
DS also has reflux and hardly sleeps at night and giving him baby gaviscon helps slightly but it is such a faff expressing and sterilising bottles to put the medicine in. He's feeding every 2 hours so amongst feeding & expressing I feel like I do nothing else.
Will the pain go away? I feel so guilty for wanting to stop when I assume the pain is temporary or no one would feed for so long. Formula just seems so tempting right now
