I am having the worst time BFing my 2nd LO. He is almost 6 weeks. I had immediate latching issues that created bad cracks and bleeding. My nipples have never healed so I still have severe pains when we first latch on and in between feedings. I have seen a LC multiple times and I'm also now on meds for both thrush and vasospasms to try to get rid of the pains. I've been taking the diflucan and nifediprine (or whatever its called!) for 5 days now and still no relief.

Even yesterday my LC seemed surprised that Im still dealing with the pain and that my nips haven't healed. We have worked on the latch and that all looks good. We did chiropractor and she checks for tongue ties. I'm really just at my wit's end and not sure whether the pain is worth continuing. I had similar issues with my first LO and I hate that everything is deja vu! I weaned him pretty quickly. I thought this time would be better or easier. The pain gets managable when I take the high dosage ibuprofen from after my birth but my doctor doesn't want me relying on that anymore. And, it's just masking the pain!

I guess this is just a complaining post. Not sure what to do next! Thanks for letting me rant!
