hi there
I am so close to changing to formula but I really don't want too. My LO is 4 weeks 5 days and feeding is is so painful. also he is feeding every two hours for up to an hour. I am fed up and exhausted and not sure how long I can continue. I am fairly sure we have latch problems especially with one breast. the nipple goes pointed and sometimes blanched. every morning that breast is swollen under the nipple my boobs are gigantic (34K) and the nipple is quite flat so it is like trying to latch on to a balloon he has been ebf until this last week when he has had a couple of bottles of ebm and a couple of formula to give my nipple a rest once a day and also because I have terrible toothache and I need him to be able to take a bottle so I can go to the dentist tomorrow.
there is a breastfeeding cafe near me but I am not sure I would feel comfortable going there. I would like to find a lactation consultant who I could see 1 on 1. I don't want to call the nct bf counsellor - any ideas where else I would find someone - many thabks
