I don't feel well LOL... feeling very teary everytime its time for a feed. Poor Jovie is refusing the breast big time atm. I was on the phone to the ABA yesterday who suggested feeding both sides every few minutes swapping sides so the let down is easier to get because once she has to really suck she starts screaming. So I've been doing that every feed 6 times or so and then I can't do it anymore & she's still hungry so we've topped up with EBM and she's happy drinking a bottle & content afterwards, which is soo frustrating. I've been expressing every hour to keep up supply but its not going too well... its starting to dwindle. I started the aktavite recipe today and am going to get some fenergeek tablets this arvo. Not much else I can do atm. I keep saying I'm doing my best and its okay... its not my fault... BREAST is BEST! If I didn't have support or encouragement for continuing breastfeeding I can see how easy it is to stop. Its hard hard work atm.
