i have called the ABA last week when he was refusing the breast, before i knew it was oral thrush... i might see how i go with the LC...... there is a breast feeding support house near me which i went to with my first baby so am comfortable going back there....

i tried to feed him just then while he was sleepy, he sucked for 5 minutes or so then cried, so i gave him 90mls of expressed breast milk which i had just pumped prior, and he took it all.... he seemed to suck better after i had expressed some milk, even though he only lasted 5 minutes, it is better than 30 seconds.... i might try expressing just before feeding him next time and see if it helps, maybe he is frustrated with waiting for a let down...

grrrrr i just want to get rid of this thrush..... i will keep persevering....
