I am due dc3 in July. With dd1 and dd2 b'feeding ended very early (with dd1 I b'fed/express fed for 3 months, with dd2 about 3 weeks). With dd1 it was a catalogue of problems - tongue tie (spotted too late), thrush, blistered/bleeding nipples etc. With dd2 she had none of these problems, but feeding her was agony, as was expressing. I stopped pretty early because I couldn't face going through the misery I had with dd1, whilst I also had to look after both dds (dd1 was 14 months old).
I have mentioned the problems I had on here, and someone pointed out that it sounded as though i could have nipple vasospasm or raynauds.
My mw said that the blanching and extreme sensitivity, does sound like raynauds, as it also happens in my fingers and toes. The pain in my nipples has already started, especially when they are cold.
She is going to get in touch with some bfc, who might be able to give me some advice, and also told me to start using Lanisoh on my nipples now, to help the circulation.
I just wondered whether this sounded like sound advice (I am afraid I'm a little mistrustful of MW's b'feeding advice, after some bad encounters in the past!), and if anyone has any further advice/experience, that would be great - thankyou.
