I've never dreaded feeds like this, this has only been the last couple of days. It's always been different and I've been more watchful of him -sometimes his top lip doesn't flare out properly so I fix it, and that used to be the only thing that caused pain. But now it's underneath, and from what I can see his latch is good. He's got enough in his mouth, it's nice and wide, he's just doing who knows what when he's on there!

His four month check up is next Monday, I was hoping. I could hold out until then. If the pain continues like this though I think I'll be calling the local health service for help I'm not even sure if they have LCs out here, but the midwife I had for DS pregnancy and birth was very knowledgeable, there should be someone who can help.

He had a feed to sleep after I posted, and it was actually better than this morning thankfully. Now while he's sleeping and I feel fine it's easy to just want to dismiss it, but then I don't want it to hurt again next time. Think I have some phone calls to make!
