Thank you all for your advice and supportive replies, I'll definitely follow up on Claire and Jill. Unfortunately I now think I've got thrush on one side too...arghhhh! But I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

Thanks, I'll check out the earlier post. It's not Claire Kedves I've been seeing so not sure if they'll let me see another member of the team, I'll look into it. Cheers.

Hi, I've got a two week week old baby and I'm having a rough time with breast feeding. I've already been seen by a specialist community breast feeding advisor from Kings Hosp but she is now at a loss as to what to do next. Baby's latch is great she says but the nipple is still getting squashed into the 'lipstick' shape. I'm going to be seen by a bf midwife who specialises in identifying tongue-tie later this week, but I've now decided to hire a private lactation consultant/breast feeding counsellor and would really like to get some good recommendations first. Can anyone recommend somebody who really helped when all others failed? PS - I've tried all the usual suggestions for troubleshooting and soothing painful breasts/nipples so would really just like a recommendation for a good bf counsellor now. Many thanks.
