Miranda and Cathy,
willing to talk to anyone/do anything to clear issues up.
Cathy, I agree with you about the frenulum issue. My older son, Sam, was a champion nurser and also had a frenulum–which was left intact and never caused a problem. I was reluctant to clip but he was clearly having MAJOR issues, and the lactation consultant and the ENT felt like that was the reason he was having feeding trouble–and it did solve half the problem. He can at least get his tongue under my nipple now. The problem now is that gumming my breast rather than using his tongue to pull the nipple back into his mouth. His suck is very shallow on the very rare occassions when willing to nurse at all.
It feels like his tongue is convex in the center… the movement upward prevents him from cupping/sucking and literally pushes my nipple right out of his mouth. We have the same problem bottlefeeding him. forever jabbing his tongue with the bottle, or milk just drips out of the sides of his mouth, or he sputters and chokes because just not sucking backward.
I would love to think that there are exercises we could do to teach him to suck properly but the lactation consultants gave me exercises at the hospital to combat his “tight mouth” and they did no good whatsoever. In my gut I think his oral anatomy may just be incompatible with breastfeeding. worried now that going on with his mouth could be indicative of other problems like a sensory integration disorder or something like that.
But welcome any advice. committed to pumping for six months at least, so in this for the long haul regardless.
