BF support / lactation consultant recommendation

[Annie456]

Good afternoon,

My little fella is just over 2 weeks and we're having some trouble breastfeeding.

I've been to a breastfeeding cafe and asked variOus midwives who all feel that the latch is fine...but it can't be because I'm now down to only being able to feed one one side and pump on the other while it heals...it's a little earlier than I hoped to be expressing but it should just be for a few days. His weight is up on the 91st centime so not worried from his point of view...more the pain issue for me.

I have contacted a lactation consultant who was recommended to me but she has so far not responded to my emails or calls so I wondered if anyone had used anyone they would recommend. I feel like I've exhausted the NHS resources and am at crisis point but don't want to give up so any recommendations for private specialists would be massively appreciated!

Thanks! X
