Nursing advice/?

So nursing is finally going great. She get on, eats like a champ, and my milk is def here. Ok so to y question. Lily has a recessed chin. We are actually wondering if it formed all the way cause there is almost an inch "overbite". Well I'm starting to wonder if that is throwing off the latch cause while she is eating and is happy my nips are starting to hurt. Would that be the problem? (her lips and everything else look good) if it is is there something I can do to fix it (the latch obviously)? Is there anything else it might be?

Here are some attempts to get it in a pic

What do you mean by overbite? Like her top jaw is out over her bottom? Could it be a tongue tie?

[jconney80]

Lip tie maybe?

does it hurt just when she latches on or the whole session?  Some pain is normal at first latch and in the first couple weeks.  It's hard to know without seeing it-is there a good lactation consultant that could take a peek and give you an opinion?

Hmm I'm not sure. The other moms may know better. I would get hooked up with an IBCLC ASAP though just to get some help so things don't get too bad.

I know I had awful nipple pain the first two weeks with our daughter. I just suffered through it and woke up one day feeling completely fine, nursing with zero pain. If it lasts for too long or is bad enough to make you feel sick or tear up, then take a break. Get ahold of a lactation consultant! There's no shame in asking for help.
