Bfing question

Has anyone had their baby's latch get worse over time? In the last month or so, Grier's latch has been awful. She only wants to latch on the end of my nipple. If I get her latched correctly, she'll squirm or pull off until she gets it in her mouth how she wants it. My boobs are KILLING me. They aren't cracked like in the beginning. The are sore and feel bruised. I sometimes get shooting pains while she's nursing. And to make matters worse, she will only nurse in one position. I can occassionally get her to nurse while I'm laying down (so I can continue to sleep! :)). Halp! My boobies hurt!

Re: Bfing question

  • I didn't BF for long, but El was the same way, she didn't want to put my whole 'nipple' area in her mouth. I would contact the Lactaion expert from your hospital to see if they can offer any advice. Sorry, I'm not much help.
  • Sounds like it could be thrush.  Thrush for you can make for sore nipples and the shooting pain.  I would have them checked out!

  • My mom is a LC and I would totally suggest calling the lactation center and asking to make an outpatient appt. They will have you come in and actually watch her nurse and help you adjust her or give you tips for getting her to latch better. It is a great service-- I would use it for sure!!! Since she "knows" how to latch correctly, I am confident that you can get her back on track.
