We had our GP appointment today. Very quick because I already have the appointment for tomorrow, but she had a look and she said yes there's a tongue and upper lip tie, and if it's causing issues breastfeeding she's got no issues recommending a referral to have them snipped.

Tonight I'm in a bit of pain and feeling off. I've been avoiding the left side because of the pain, so then I got worried that the way I'm feeling could be the start of mastitis due to not draining it. It hurts more of the breast now, it hurts to touch. So I tried expressing while DS was in the bath to see if there'd be any relief. It was actually worse, there was blood in the milk from a crack and the pain was constant, whereas when DS feeds on it it's just for the first 30 seconds or so.

So I'm completely second guessing myself, it's stupid. The right side is totally back to normal, no pain. If it was the ties causing the problem, wouldn't it be ongoing? Now I'm worried it's actually thrush in the left breast. I just don't know anymore
