Hi all, needing advice about what to do. Some background, my LO is 8 weeks today. He previously had an anterior tongue tie that was revised when he was a few days old.
I am currently going through a nursing strike with my son where he is refusing to latch if he is awake or overstimulated. I’ve been surviving on catching him at the end of naps and sometimes with supplement with a bottle if he is borderline refusing and needs to eat. The last couple of days I’ve seen some improvement from him latching but still saw an IBCLC today. Long story short, she said she believes my son has a posterior tongue tie and upper body tension. The plan is to do oral a body exercises/stretches and he is scheduled with a dentist in town for a consult regarding his tongue tie but she also recommended he see an infant chiropractor. She isn’t the first person to recommend one, but I am cautious about such a thing as he is so young and there is mixed reviews about chiropractors especially for infants. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation and if so how did you proceed? Thanks in advance

Hi all, first time poster and FTM. My baby is 5 weeks old and I feel like I’m hitting rock bottom and my anxiety is through the roof. For the last few days will breastfeed for a few minutes before unlatching and crying and screaming. Today, nothing would soothe him and he is fighting with everything he has to not go to sleep. I don’t know what to do. I don’t think milk supply is an issue as I produce plenty of milk. I suspect I have a strong flow as well. He doesn’t do this every time he eats, but between like 12pm-9pm it’s hit or miss every day. I feel guilt (stupid I know) for the idea of giving him a bottle and it makes me feel so useless as a mother that I can’t console my child. Any advice would be much appreciate because I don’t know what to do
