My daughter is 3 & 1/2 weeks old and we’ve had a turbulent BF journey so far... post labour health issues (failed episiotomy stitches), mastitis, tongue tie, infected nipples from latch damage!
I had mastitis last week which cleared up this weekend... DD had tongue tie which was corrected last Tuesday... so we’ve had a number of set backs
We’re still learning to feed properly following tongue tie... but she is currently feeding, feeding, feeding... today at her weigh in she has maintained weight (still 8 Oz off birth weight)
Her latch is a little better since tongue tie procedure... but I’m wondering if it’s a little too shallow - would a shallow latch effect weight gain?
