My nipples always come out pinched with a white ridge on the top. There's no milk pouring down his chin but sometimes he has reflux/spitting curdly milk out. He is extremely gassy, hard to burp, and always crying uncomfortably when he is trying to poop. <br /><br />I don't get engorged much as well so I don't think I have oversupply. I have been battling recurrent plugged ducts for the past 10 weeks since he was 2-3 week old, having plugged ducts every few days on both breasts. I did everything I can to get rid of and prevent those plugged ducts, hot and cold compresses, cabbage leaves, hot shower/hot bath, hand massaging in the shower/before/during/after feeding and pumping to get those plugs out, varying the nursing position, hand massager/electric toothbrush to mimic ultrasound treatments, avoiding saturated fats in my diet, avoiding any pressure on my breasts, avoiding lifting heave stuffs, castor oil, lecithin supplements, echinacea/bee propolis/poke root herbal supplements ... but the plugs kept coming back! <br /><br />I have gotten discouraged and almost gave up breastfeeding several times because of the problems I and my baby have been experiencing =(<br /><br />In any case, who and how did your daughter got diagnosed with posterior tongue tie? DId you have her tongue tie clipped? I saw one IBCLC early this week and she kinda suggested that my son has lip tie and tongue tie, preventing him to have a good latch and drain my breasts effectively. But then another IBCLC I saw today during breastfeeding support group says my son is too old for frenectomy, i.e. no one will do tongue clip for 12 week old baby, they only do it for few days old/younger baby, so I am just curious to hear about your experience.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730515623078238960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-26464325139164039532013-10-30T12:55:02.112+00:002013-10-30T12:55:02.112+00:00Update - she was diagnosed with posterior tongue t...Update - she was diagnosed with posterior tongue tie at 10 weeks and feeding has improved massively since then.

I was told when he was three months that I had a fast let down and I had to "manage" it by changing positions and the other ideas that come with that. I was hoping by now we would be on a better track. he wakes throughout the night and I'm losing my mind without sleep...I want to give up. can anyone tell me there is end in sight or a better solution?missymoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516045828727115658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-23338629389486472162013-01-29T22:19:51.649+00:002013-01-29T22:19:51.649+00:00Really interesting reading regarding the disorgani...Really interesting reading regarding the disorganised suck theory - my 7 week old has always clicked when feeding and never comfort sucks; often ends up coughing during a feed and will often cry when finished (with milk pouring down her chin - it feels like "why are you still feeding me milk when all I'm trying to do is sleep?!"). I assumed it was fast let-down due to the fact I'm still feeding my 29mo and also pumping about 100ml a day to send to a milk bank. I don't get terribly engorged so I don't think I have oversupply; and I haven't had her weighed in weeks but she seems to be gaining and is happy and alert. Is there anything you can advise to help her cope better with the flow rate?Gwenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824119767135658364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-57180548216373415352012-05-07T07:34:44.808+01:002012-05-07T07:34:44.808+01:00How would you work with your baby to resolve this ...How would you work with your baby to resolve this issue?

I've thought for ages that it goes back to the days when I was (trying to) feed him and he preferred the left - in fact what I think has happened was that he had established a better supply in the left breast than the right. He didn't really establish much of a supply on either side because he had an undiagnosed TT and I got crap advice but hey ho... at least I'm now reading something which backs up my own musings on this!LBNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549027640132457248noreply@blogger.com
