Hi, my LO is 4 weeks old. She had a mild tongue tie cut on Day 10. Feeding then went well for a week.
However, the feeding past week has been really painful & getting worse with each feed. She basically crunches on my nipple, it comes out pinched & really painful after a feed.
I've had her latch & positioning checked by 3 midwives & 4 bf support workers & a lactation consultant at home! They've all said it looks fine. We've practiced loads of positions & techniques.
When she feeds she spends a long time at the Breast can be 1 hour, some of this is feeding but some is just sucking (chomping) & sleeping. She always falls asleep eventually. She sometimes whines as well as if distressed. Once asleep I burp her put her down but she wakes within the next hour for another feed!
She has a lip tie & has had the tongue tie cut.
I really don't want to give up BF but I'm sitting here in tears with sore pinched nipples & wondering where to go from here.
She does have wet & dirty nappies & has gained some weight.
Hope someone can help me out :-(
