Hi everyone any ides to help this situation.
Permission to post
Baby boy-frst baby, term, spontaneous labour, spontaneous birth, no 
analgesia, physiological 3rd stage, skin 2 skin for 90 minutes plus, first BF at 
15 mins-assisted by midwife to facilitate 3rd stage.
Now 5 weeks and 6 days, BW=3460 gms now weighs 4600gms, feeds 8-12 
times per day, wet nappies 4-6 heavy per day, mustard stools one large at 
least once per day, sleeping 5-6 hours overnight.
Mum has 3mm diameter hole punch lacerations dead centre of nipple-and 
nipple thrush. Baby had oral symptoms now resolving with Nystat. Mum's 
symptoms are also resolving with Nystat and supportive measures.
Nipple damage has been fairly constant in last 3 weeks. I suspect this baby 
has learnt to feed well enough for his own needs but to the detriment of his 
mother's nipples. Question how do we educate him to latch better.
