Vent post - advice welcome.

Why is this so hard? Why have I not gotten it down in 8 weeks? I’ve been to 4 appointments with my lactation consultant, and they have all been a disappointment.

The LC says to keep feeding on demand. Assesses his motor functions. Says my son has a lip tie, posterior tongue tie, and a high palate. Transfer was okay for his age. So I continued what I was doing.

The LC says my son’s transfer & weight gain were a bit lower than expected. Recommends to keep an eye on diaper output and at home stretches/exercises. So I do that.

The LC says transfer is still lower than expected for his age & he has a weak suck. Baby is NEVER satisfied. She recommends a chiropractor/occupational therapist & that I triple feed to protect my supply. So I do all of that.

And now, my most recent appt. Transfer is STILL low at the breast. LC recommends tie revisions. What if this doesn’t even work & I traumatize my 8 week old for nothing.

I was so excited for the bond & convenience of EBF. But I am losing hope in this journey with each day that passes.
