For my wife, it was the fact that our kids all had tongue and cheek/mouth ties. As soon as those were cut, they nursed normally. We'd asked at the hospital if our kids had tongue ties, and their rubric was, "Can your kid make a taco tongue? If they can, then they don't have a tongue tie." It turns out that this is not the case. According to modern American medicine, tongue ties don't exist, and if they did exist, your kid will get over them, and anyway here's a bottle, good luck. After we took our kids to a specialist to fix their tongue ties, they went from nursing and crying all night long, to nursing for 15 minutes and sleeping normally. Tongue ties are a thing. If your kid is exhausted from trying to nurse all night and can't get full, then they might have a tongue tie.
