I’ve struggled from day one with my 7 week old daughter. She’s my second child and after some initial latching issues with my son I went on to feed him for 15 months. However, this time it doesn’t seem to be getting easier at all. She was checked for TT in week one, it was borderline so I had it divided anyway just in case. Since then I’ve seen two lactation consultants, watched countless videos, been to a breastfeeding support group, had cranial osteopathy done on her after being told she had so much jaw tightness she wasn’t able to open her mouth wide enough and there’s still no improvement. She’s gaining weight and having lots of wet and dirty nappies but I’m at such a loss. She’s also caught my son’s cold and cough so I’m sure the congestion isn’t helping but I don’t see how that would negatively impact her already not so great latch. I feel like I’ve got nowhere else to turn, nobody else that can help me or support me but I really don’t want to stop as I know how great it can be.
Did anyone else feel this way at 7 weeks and when did you notice an improvement? Do I just need to wait for her to get bigger?
