When I had my baby I had such a crappy delivery where every thing went wrong, I was very concerned that breastfeeding would go bad as well so I tried to get everything perfect.
I worked on developing a textbook perfect latch. I also went to the LC and had her confirm everything looked great.
However, as time went on, I have found I prefer BFing while in the side lying position, and have been doing so for about a 6 weeks, she is now 9 and a half weeks old. I noticed that my baby usually has a pursed upper lip when I feed side lying. I don't have as much control over how she latches while laying down as when we are sitting up on the boppy. Sometimes I use my finger and flip that upper lip out so it looks correct.
She is gaining weight very well, has tons of poopy and wet diapers. I am not in any pain. Do I need to worry about that pursed upper lip once we are in a good breastfeeding groove? It doesn't seem to be hurting anything but it bugs me that she doesn't have the upper lip flared out like she is supposed to.
