Hi All I would be grateful of any input please. Working with a mother who is 21 days postpartum, recently admitted to hospital with mastitis . Now home, her left breast is still tender, and I think scar tissue has developed between 5-7 o’clock, Her nipples are always squashed when the baby comes off. The baby does latch, but makes a slurping sound and slips off, he looks like he has a deep latch, when I ask his mum its never pain free or comfortable .she repositions the baby many times through the feed. But nothing works. She does have larger breasts. I have shown her how to support the breast with flannels. How to hold the breast to mirror the baby mouth coming to the breast. Even with all this discomfort she is willing to try anything. Can anyone make any suggestions. She took the baby for an tongue tie assessment and the baby dosen’t have one.?
