I just worked with a mom that sounds pretty similar. This baby had the
largest blisters at 4 weeks of age across the entire top lip. I have never
seen anything so extreme. He was gaining beautifully. Mom was in a lot of
pain, latch looked deep, but was he was moving his lips to much. With him,
it ended up being frenulum issues, mainly the labial frenulum- he could not
really flange properly, and I guess all the friction was causing the
blisters.
I agree to check
1. frenulum
2. I find CST very helpful in these situations
3. I agree to keep the plan simple. I am a big fan of pumping and using a
bottle- in this case I would choose the "hardest" one which I find is an
Avent- assuming he does not do fish lips there. But I have found the
mothers can work them towards a big "latch" on the bottle gradually.
