Hi girls,
I have a 5 months old baby girl who was severly troubled with reflux and colic when she was born and has only just started to settle down now, thank god! I was breastfeeding her until she was 3 months old and a lactation consultant, doctor and paed all told me to stop during the day and put her on thickened formula until she settled down. she was just screaming at the breast all the time it was horrible. so the formula worked really well but now she has settled down i have tried latching her back on the breast and she is willing to go on but as there isn't much there anymore she gets frustruated obviously. i have always done the dream feed so still have some milk there.
i really want to try and relactate for during the days. my doctor has given me motilium. has anyone had success with this and if so how long did it take? it crushed me to stop feeding her so i have hope that we can do it again.
any other suggestions to increase my supply during the day?
many thanks
