It's been a hell of a journey but I will try to get straight to the point.
Baby is now 15 weeks.
Shes had her tongue tie reversed twice as the first time it wasn't done completely ( 2nd time was 3 weeks ago).
She also has high palette.
I had pain and possibly nipple thrush that was treated but I'm still experiencing pain when pumping and if she occasionally latches on.
Anyway my dilemma is that she won't take the breast at all now, she creams and cries as soon as I try to offer it to her. If she latches on it's only for a couple of suckles and starts crying or pushing away.
I have talked to the breastfeeding network couple of time, been to couple of breastfeeding groups and no success. Even nipple shields hurt a lot of the time.
Everyone recommends a lot of skin to skin but she is not a fan, she just want to be active, be walked around and looking at things.
I'm struggling to keep up with pumping because I can only do it when she's asleep and for over a month she has been having very short naps( 20/30mins).
I have thought about seeing another IBLC but at this point I don't know what else they can do or offer and I have so far spent over £1300 inlcuding consultations and tongue tie procedures.
Sidenote, I have endometriosis so breastfeeding was meant to be essential at trying to keep it at bay for as long as possible and although my period returned last week I still don't want to give up.
