DS (7 weeks) just had the snIp yesterday (caused bad nipple pain and poor latch) & at the hospital they said it was necessary to wake him every three hours day and night for next five days in order to work the muscle and help the healing/stop any regrowth of the frenulum. Normally he'd sleep for seven to eight hours over night though (yes, am v lucky!). I'm just wondering if everyone else followed this so strictly overnight as I've checked online and can't see any evidence that this actually makes difference....waking him through the night for a feed just feels very counter intuitive for me and a bit mean, though obviously if that's the correct thing to do for the next few nights then I'll do it.... love to hear the experience of others on this.... thanks!
