So my DD had her posterior tie snipped last week at almost three months. There's a noticeable improvement and I'm finally pain free. She sucks well at the start of each feed but after a while - generally between five and ten minutes - she'll revert to her old, totally inefficient, 'chomping' style.

Any tips on how to encourage her to keep up the suck/swallow?

Thanks

Shameless bump...anyone?

I'd say give it time - may improve further in a few more days.

is it possible she's switching to the chomping because she's really had enough?

or because she is tired perhaps ( eg is this worse/better before or after a sleep)

It does sound a bit like comfort sucking. Our daughter's tie was cut last week and I'm yet to see much improvement in her feeding, so to already be pain free sounds great :)
Is there a breastfeeding support group you could get to for help?
