I seem to be experiencing a really uncommon, complex breastfeeding issue that started when my baby was 2 months old (he's now 7 months - that's a whooping 5 months we've been experiencing these issues), when my breasts became 'soft' due to my milk supply regulating. He went from feeding very well from a 'full' breast to suddenly struggling to feed from a 'soft' breast (latching on and then pulling off, thrashing around, sucking really hard and impatiently to stimulate a letdown, sucking very hard to remove milk - generally struggling to access milk the way he used to before). It’s as if the whole mechanism of breastfeeding changed when my breasts became soft, and suddenly my baby didn’t know how to do it anymore. The only time he'll feed effectively is in his sleep, as a dream feed. He won't accept a bottle. It's gotten steadily worse over time (I could go into a lot of depth about how difficult it's been, but that's for another thread). Support has been hard to access because the issue seems too complex for local support groups to tackle, and I don't have the financial resources to access more specialist support (from an IBCLC). Anyway, my question - does anyone share my experience? I feel like I'm the only mother in the world who has this experience...
