So I did it. Have the referral appointment on Thursday and will get her to check his lip and look for a posterior tie too. I had a good chat to a friend whos DS is getting and lip and tongue tie lasered tomorrow, and a bit of a sook to DH when he got home. I'm feeling much better about it all now, and while I'll probably still be a wreck on Friday I'm looking forward to working towards fixing this.
I'm only just reading this now.
=( sorry to hear it is so hard for you two atm. big massive squishy hugs. you need to get it sorted, it will hurt now. but in the long run it will be better.
Massive hugs. It is one of the worst pain experiences out there.
Get yourself some rite aid brand breast discs (NOT breast pads). You can't get them everywhere - I couldn't get them at woolies but could at Coles. I had the kind of pain you're experiencing for about 7 months, plus 10 bouts of mastitis with my second, and they were what enabled me to get thought it. Infinitely better than lanolin.
We've got those discs at a chemist in the next town, I'll write it down for DH. Unfortunately I won't have a car tomorrow but DH has offered to go get whatever I need on his way home from work.
