Christ almighty, my nips are sore. DD3 is four weks old and ws diagnosed with a tongue-tie at two weeks. During those two weeks my nips were effectively shredded( although my notes say 'good latch, feeding well' etc, thank God for good community midwife who noticed the tongue tie)and they are still very, very sore. Am slathering them in lasinoh and jelonet and giving the worst one a break by giving DD3 one or two bottles of EBM a day.
DD3 seems happy with this arrangement but am still concerned about her ability to latch on - I get her on with a good mouthful of nipple but she pulls back into her preferred position which is sore for me.
Do you think the problem will resolve itself as she gets bigger?
Any advice? Especially about healing sore nips.
Baby crying so am off to feed... oooowwwwww
