Thanks for all the support ladies. I went to a breastfeeding support group meeting today at the hospital and talked to the LC. She helped me try everything (which I told her that we had already did) and even gave me a new shield - mine wasn't cutting it. Well, after much frustration and my child literally screaming she started to look inside his mouth. My child cannot latch because of his tongue. The skin that connects the bottom of the tongue to the bottom of his mouth goes all the way to the tip end of his tongue making the latch nearly impossible. That is why he fights even taking a paci or a bottle. It is nothing that I am doing wrong at this point. We take him in tomorrow to the doctor for his first check up and this will be one of the main topics. The LC suggested we get his tongue clipped and that should fix the problem. Until then, I am pumping and finger/syringe feeding him what I pump. At least now I know the cause and hopefully we will have more answers soon. Anyone here deal with the same thing??
