So trying to get a good latch has not been going good. The passed few weeks have been pretty rotten. I try to nurs until he gives me blisters or makes me bleed. Then I give it a day and try again. I know I shoud be trying every chance I get. I am having major trust issued with ds, to the point that I fear latching him on.
Saturday I latched him on at 5:30 a.m. and by the end of the feeding I had blisters on my left nipple and gum marks on my right. I didn't try again until Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. He latched on ok, not great, but ok. After about seven minutes I get this sharp pain in the center of my right nippled (the side he was latched on to) and I scream. He pulls off and I am bleeding. I have no idea how he did it. My nipple wasn't even distorted or smushed.
Sometimes he makes a cliking noise when he nurses, and it never seams like he drains me, I can always get 1 1/2 to 2 oz out of each side after a good nursing session. I don't usually have a problem trying to get him to latch on, he really seams like he wants to nurse, but sometimes (frequently lately) he has been thrashing his head from side to side after being latched on for a wile. He will still be latched on when he does this. Is this an over active let down? or could this be related to colic? He gets very crancy in the evenings and that is when he does this, although the evenings are the primary time that I try to nurse because I am back at work now so I don't know If he would doe this any other time of the day.
