After the delivery I learned, by the midwife that she was tongue tied. I tried and tried for hours to get her to nurse. This went on for about four or five days. After having no success I started pumping. During this time I developed deep fissure wounds on both breasts. Very painful. Since this initial attempt at nursing the baby had a simple procedure done that would allow her to latch on. I was all set and ready to go again. Well for the last week and 1/2 I have been nursing and she latches on so well. The pain though sends me through the roof. I didn’t know I had the fissures until a week and 1/2 into my second attempt at nursing. The baby has developed Thrush, which makes nursing so much more painful. Right now I am just pumping and hoping these open sores heal quickly. If you are having difficulties nursing…I feel for you! If you have sores, and have experiences pain from Thrush as well…all at the same time I really feel for you!

My 20 month old toddlers seem to have an eye infection of some kind. I’m treating it with my breastmilk before trying other options.

I have not been breastfeeding our son for over a year and my nipples are NOT healed! It was devestating when I only BF for 2 weeks, pumped for 1.5 months and then had doctors telling me to quit after trying two rounds of expensive meds and 2 different nipple ointments. I am expecting #2 now and desperately want them to be healed so our next baby can have the best chance of being breastfed. I have seen 5 seperate doctors and had one ultrasound. I have not gotten any answers with what to do. Baby #2 is due in 5.5 months and I want this time to be so much better!

I’ve also nursed both of them in my arms while helping to lead worship at our church. I didn’t plan any of this, it just happened. My son nursed so frequently that if I’d stopped every time he needed to nurse, we’d never have done anything else, so I just got used to it. It helped that my mother was a La Leche League leader when I was young, so breastfeeding always seemed normal to me.

Congratulations on your new-found freedom in nursing!
