DC2 is 3 weeks. EBF. We've had a rough start and among other things she had a posterior TT snipped late last week. It's certainly helped and she's pretty much perfect on my left breast now, on both sides she has a more effective suck/swallow pattern and is gaining weight now. BUT my right boob is really painful - really hurts when she latches and continues to feel like it's in a clamp the whole way through a feed. The actual boob sometimes aches quite intensely for a short while afterwards. Her latch seems pretty good (though I have to be strict about not letting her hang off my nipples - am sure that will improve over time) and the early damage and cracks caused by the TT issues have healed nicely.
We're having a bit of a bad night tonight as I now can't really get her to feed off that side either. She latches on then doesn't really do anything, a few sucks then 'nibbles'. I'm now getting a bit stressed about it all, which is not helping either. And I've just lost my shut at DH for trying to help.
I'm going to try and talk to a BF counsellor ASAP but any thoughts on what it might be or what to do?
Worth mentioning that I've been on antibiotics for ten days so thrush crossed my mind. But I can't see any evidence of it in her mouth and my nipples are a bit pink but I don't think remarkably so.
Would really appreciate any advice - thanks.
