Midwife noticed yesterday that Baby Bear's resps were quite high and he seemed fairly 'puffy'. Something to do with his heart thing maybe? At least I know now that I'm not imagining the odd breathing when he feeds.
She also discovered that he has a bit of a tongue tie and is going to organise further investigations for us. It does explain why his latch tends to slip easily and why he often tries suck the nipple in instead of latching properly. One of the benefits of tandem feeding though is that he doesn't have to work as hard to get to the hind milk and we think that's partly why his weight gain has been so good.
Feeding while out is proving to be a little challenging. It's harder to get Baby Bear to maintain a good latch and he seems to get tired quicker than at home so he falls asleep before he's had a proper feed. I end up feeling full and sore and he ends up cranky, hungry and tired.
