Saw a lactation consultant today and got told that his jaw isn't opening big enough for some reason and that I should go home and keep feeding him ebm feeling rather emotional and over it, I want to enjoy my new baby not feel upset because we have to wrestle with him to try bf unsuccessfully and spend half my day on machine expressing . I have haps of milk and he has a great appetite he just can't open his mouth big enough (tinks mayby a muscle got hurt on way out), I know its only day 3 but argh I'm meant to be going home tomorrow, and I feel alone and cause its christmas its hard to get an appointment to have anyone help us with feeding problems.
I did have pethidine during labour, he gets very frustrated when trying to feed from breast and it just end up traumatising both of us
Day 3 amd over it!
