Hello everyone.
I am still breast feeding but am still finding it exhausting. I think the problem may be with Logan not latching on properley.
He used to be fine and I made sure he had plenty of nipple and areolar in his mouth but the last 3 days he appears to have "forgotten" how to latch on properley.
Does this happen?
I keep taking him off as soon as I realise he just has the nipple in his mouth. Sometimes when he does have a big mouthful he will pull his head back and move down the nipple so that he is just sicking on the end
Are there any tips to get him to open his mouth wider? He does't seem to be opening his mouth very wide at all - I sometimes have to wait for him to cry to get more nipple in.
I am seeing my HV on Thursday and will discuss this with her then but was wondering if there were any ideas from here in the mean time.
I have noticed that he doesn;t do this in the morning feeds ( 3am etc) thats when he seems to be super hungry and then doesn't mess about. Is my little man just being lazy?
I have had to be on antibiotics and this has caused my little man to have a bad tummy and lots of extra wind - any hints and tips to help him get this wind out... I have tried baby massage and warm baths but he still appears to be in a lot of discomfort..
Thank you
