I was in pain for at least the first 6 wks with DS1 and BF him till 18 months (didn't think I'd make it past 3 at one point). I was only sore for about a week w/ DS2 - such a different and much better experience so far.
Also, not to hijack your thread but DS2 was also tongue-tied but they advised us not to clip (DS1 was too and we had him clipped - DS1's was LESS visible than DS2). With the recent posts about getting it clipped at a later age, now I'm really regretting listening to them!
