OMG, I almost peed myself Casey, lol!
It has never been great.. always slightly uncomfortable. It got amazingly better after his tongue was clipped, so much that it was pain-free in comparison, but it still tugged and would sting a little... I would just be ok by the next feed even if I was kind of sore after the feed. His latch has always been kind of shallow and there have been times when its painful for me.. it just got REALLY painful recently. Its possible he got lazy on his latching and figured out an easier way to get the milk out.. clamping down on my gums... which is why it got bad recently.
I dunno, I don't want to always be running around trying to fix things that aren't the real problem, but I also don't want to deal with this pain and possibly give up BFing early because its too hard.
Plus, the lip tie can cause dental issues later, though its easier to fix later than the tongue tie... also lots of kids tear it on their own once they're toddling.. I'd kind of rather it get fixed now though than deal with a huge bloody messy screaming toddler, lol.
I really really hate pumping, lol... I also have a really bad eczema flare up on my hands from all the washing I already have to do.. its almost to the point of cracking and bleeding. Bfing is so much easier (though not really when its so painful).
