There's a joke that most Quakers are only silent for one hour a week.

So sorry to hear you were pushed on to formula too. I was devastated for those first few bottles, but there were at least some benefits to switching to formula for us. It was much easier to bond with Jack once he wasn't causing me so much pain all the time. Plus Jack was feeding for at least 30-40 minutes and then would want feeding again after an hour, so I wasn't pinned down all the time.

It seems to be a regional thing. We have a cousin who lived in Gilford, and there all the midwives were train to check and snip tongue ties. Here in the north west there seems to only be one person trained to do it at Alder Hey.

Thanks, I'm amazed at how little support there is for breastfeeding problems. Since writing this I've been sent a link about lip ties (which Jack also has). We were told is was unlikely to be a problem so it wasn't worth treating, but I'm starting to suspect that was causing at least some of the problems.

(Jack had a really horrible trick where he'd manage to suck a bit of the areola up between his lip and gum, giving it a hickey. It was so painful, but It didn't happen that often so I wasn't sure if it was 'normal'.)

Thanks. It didn't help that my health visitor claimed to support breastfeeding, but immediately started pushing me towards formula. She completely ignored the fact he'd had his tongue tie snipped and implied I just wasn't feeding him enough.

Thanks so much for letting us know! We're so pleased the scarf has raised so much for a good cause. You'll have to let us know what Emily does with it!

Yes, I think we ended up in the same discussion groups. It was lovely to meet you, even if we didn't get much opportunity to chat!
