My baby is 8 weeks old and had his tongue tie cut 3.5 weeks ago. The latch is still awful. Every feed is painful and my nipples are red and inflamed.
The doctor said it isn't thrush and prescribed a steroid cream.
Is there any hope of the latch being fixed at this point or is it too late? Baby is gaining about 8oz a week atm and staying on 9th percentile. But my nipples are always misshapen after a feed and he basically just chomps at my nipples. He can open his mouth wide but just won't take any more of the breast.
I'm really at my wits end and dreading every feed. Is 8 weeks too late for a latch to improve?
