For those of you trying to breastfeed a baby who has extreme difficulty latching do not give up! At their wellness checkup ask the doctor to look inside their mouth got any abnormalities. It was taking 20-30 minutes to get my baby to latch and it turned out she was tongue tied. As soon as the doctor clipped it I nursed my baby she latched instantly. I was so happy that I cried. You have to be forceful with these doctors. While we were in the hospital I mentioned that her tongue looked a little forked, the nurses looked and said she was fine. All of the lactation consultants knew how much trouble I was having and never mentioned a possible tongue tie. Thank goodness we have a great pediatrician or I'd have the option of nursing taken away from me.

Also, with her being a premie, it's taking longer for her to get the hang of nursing. The pedi did she should have it down by the due date.
