We’re 3 weeks in to breastfeeding, he has suspected tongue tie and waiting for an appointment on the nhs. My nipples are so sore and sensitive! His latch is terrible and no matter what I try it hasn’t improved and comes out like a lipstick. I don’t think he’s getting the full feed as there’s no fluttering. He’ll com...
