Feeding has generally been going well with DS2. It took me a few weeks to get the positioning just right on my 'difficult' side, but it's basically gone very smoothly. This is somewhat different to when DS1 was born!
However... something is not quite right the last few days. DS2 has four teeth, but it's a few weeks since the last of these came through. I have sometimes been very aware of his teeth during feeds, in a slightly uncomfortable way - it reminds me of how DS1's latch would go a bit funny whenever a new tooth came through - but there is no new tooth yet, and none obviously about to appear. If it's just a little uncomfortable I've been leaving him to it, but if it's too much I take him off to try again, and when doing this I've noticed his mouth is not very wide open at all. A few times at the moment he latches on it has been properly painful, although I'm not sure exactly how it's been painful. He has also bitten a few times, generally at the end of feeds.
Not sure what details might be relevant but... He does have a slight cold at the moment, but he's not blocked up. We have also been away for a few days, so feeding in different places from usual and with more distractions, but it has continued since we've been home. It is worse on my 'difficult' side (I call it that because most problems I've ever had have been worse on that side, but it hasn't really been difficult latterly), but I've definitely had some uncomfortable feeds on the other side too, and conversely some pain free feeds on 'difficult' side. And I have a bit of an oversupply, although I think things have calmed down a bit the last few weeks. The 'difficult' side probably has a lower supply, but possibly a faster letdown.
Does anyone have any suggestions? If a new tooth had just appeared or even if one was about to, I'd be happy to blame that and wait a few more days. Could it still be a phase and sort itself, or can you suggest anything I could be trying? Thanks.
