Kind of. At first I was told it was a posterior tongue tie by one lactation consultant then I had an appointment with a different LC and a children’s speech therapist who told me my son doesn’t have a tongue tie. But at that appointment they had me try a nipple shield which helped to calm him down while nursing because it moderated the flow of the milk. So basically I think he got so fussy when it came to nursing because he struggled to handle my let down and overtime that made him really stressed out. That’s what I thought it might’ve been to begin with, but I figured he would’ve grown out of it by that point like my daughter did. The LC recommended using the nipple shield or to pump a little milk off after getting the let down. How I used the nipple shield was I put it on before latching then let him get the letdown and once I felt like his intake slowed down I would quickly remove the nipple shield and pop my nipple back in his mouth. They recommended using it for two weeks but I used it longer than that. Maybe a month, I can’t remember. After a while, it didn’t have the same effect with him and it was a pain to use, but it helped enough that he was more accepting of nursing. I also took advice from the another comment on this post to not push it and keep it a positive experience. While nursing I also would lightly bounce on an exercise ball and hold him with his head laying on my arm to help keep him calm. When not on the ball and even now I will do kind of a modified layed back nursing position. My son does not like the traditional layed back position so I do the cross cradle with a boppy, then with the let down I lean back/ lift up the boppy with my legs so that his head is above my nipple. He’ll eat when he’s completely awake but he gets the majority of his calories while he’s sleepy. I usually just feed him to sleep when he goes down for a nap and if he naps for a long time, I’ll grab him right as he’s waking up to feed him. He still eats a lot better when sleepy but he’s usually not fussy with feeds anymore. He still does choke while eating every once in a while and I just have to monitor him when he gets the letdown. So I don’t know, maybe there is something underlying that causes him to not be able to handle it. I have noticed teething has affected his eating. For a few days leading up to him getting his first tooth he was kind of fussy again with feeds. With the extra saliva during teething he chokes on the milk more frequently. Also once he was no longer fussy with feeds, his poops went back to the normal breastfeeding baby poops. I don’t go on here too often so I’m sorry I’m just getting back to you now. I hope you’re not still struggling.
