    If you have any questions, sing out too hon. I've been through an array of feeding issues with my DD's - poor latch, slow gainer, sleepy/lazy baby, nipple damage, thrush, Vasospasm - and that was just with DD1! She also had silent reflux and a bad neck from her posterior delivery resulting in a vacuum delivery! DD2 had a posterior tongue tie which wasn't picked up til she was almost 2 weeks old (by Kate thankfully!) but unfortunately a lot of damage had already been done. She had it snipped not long after but I had to exclusively pump for 5 weeks to repair my nipples which had been badly damaged yet again resulting in severe Vasospasm (again) and dermatitis on both nipples! Kate put me onto a fab doctor (out in the hills mind you) who got me sorted. DD2 was also treated for reflux (chucky, no silent). I exclusively BF DD2 until 12 months I hope you can get some help to get you through it too.

    Yes, Joy was great. She listened and I didn't feel rushed at all. I was there 2.5hrs. I'd definitely recommend her to others.
